Ever since Buddy started sprouting teeth at eight months old, his staple diet consists of milk, baby cereals with banana or avocado for lunch and porridge for dinner. Recently, he’s been showing interest in the food we are eating which made me realise it’s high time to revamp his menu.
A girl friend recommended I cook risotto for Buddy. Risotto is nursery food in its purest form. When cooked well, it is warm, soft and melts in the mouth, making it an easy first food for toddlers, especially when they only have little teeth. In the earlier stages of weaning, we can overcook the rice so that it is more of a creamy mush, then gradually move towards a firmer texture when they are more capable in chewing. Risotto is such a versatile one-pot meal. We can make so many variations with different ingredients once we master the basics. Our family loves Italian food but I’ve never cooked Risotto before so I was a little apprehensive. Armed with a 16cm Le Creuset Dutch Oven and a sense of adventure, I cooked and lived to tell the tale.
I popped by the supermarket and located the Arborio rice (Italian short-grain rice) easily in the pasta section. It was less expensive than I thought (about $7 for a box). For a balanced meal, I added in baby spinach leaves, broccoli and salmon which I found in our fridge.
Simple ingredients commonly found in supermarkets!
Nutritional content of this dish:
- Arborio rice is high in carbohydrates which growing tots need for building muscles. It is packed with Vitamins A and C (a cup of Arborio rice fulfills about 45% of the daily requirement of essential nutrients) and has high protein content. Most importantly, Arborio rice is easy to digest and helps maintain good digestive health.
- Salmon is high in protein and has lots of Omega-3 Fatty Acids to support brain and cardiovascular health. It also contains a good dose of Vitamin D.
- Spinach is high in iron. Did you know the nutrition in spinach increases as you cook it? It will release lots more antioxidants to fight any inflammation.
- Broccoli is high in Vitamin C for preventing those nasty colds. It is also rich in Vitamin K for promoting good bone health.
This one-pot Risotto dish is not only yummy, it is full of nutrition too!
STEPS TO COOKING RISOTTO
Heat oil in a small Le Creuset Dutch Oven. Add the onion, cook until translucent. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Turn the heat down, add the chicken broth, ½ cup at a time, only adding more liquid after the previous liquid has been totally absorbed by the rice. Stir continuously until the rice is slightly soft and chewy (about 20 mins).
Toss in the boiled broccoli, spinach and Parmesan cheese. Give it a vigorous stir.
Add the salmon. Gently stir, being careful not to break up the salmon. Cover and cook for another 10minutes, mixing occasionally and checking to ensure the salmon is cooked.
Serve warm.
- 1/2 cup (115g) Arborio rice (available at Cold Storage Supermarkets)
- ½ cup Broccoli, chopped into small florets and boiled in water
- ½ cup Baby Spinach, washed and tore into bite size pieces
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1½ cup Chicken Stock, brought to the boil
- ½ tbsp Sunflower (or Olive) Oil
- ½ Red or Yellow Onion, finely diced
- 200g Salmon, cut into 1 inch chunks
- Heat oil in a small Le Creuset Dutch Oven over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, cook for a few minutes until translucent.
- Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the chicken broth, ½ cup at a time, only adding more liquid after the previous liquid has been totally absorbed by the rice.
- Continue to cook, stirring continuously until all the liquid has been absorbed, and the rice is slightly soft and chewy (around 20 minutes). The key to great risotto is neither scorching nor water logging the rice.
- Toss in the boiled broccoli, spinach and Parmesan cheese. Give it a vigorous stir.
- Add the salmon. Gently stir, being careful not to break up the salmon. Cover and cook for another 10minutes, mixing occasionally and checking to ensure the salmon is cooked.
- Serve warm.
- Even though we cooked this specially for Buddy, it was so flavourful that Dana also finished a serving for dinner. Even Daddy who is usually not-too-big a Risotto fan was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was! This recipe is definitely a keeper. For adults, we can to drizzle a tsp of lemon juice over the Risotto for that bit of 'zest' before serving. To cook for 4, simply double up the recipe.
The cast iron pot heats up swiftly and evenly, enabling a novice like me to cook the risotto successfully at first try! It neither overcooks nor under-cooks, giving novice cooks like us absolute control over the dish. I like the fact that the Le Creuset Dutch Oven can be used over an induction stove, making it’s safer for busy Moms to cook while baby-wearing. The pot also retains heat well so I can set it aside to finish other chores before coming back to feed Buddy without reheating. Best of all, because very little moisture escapes during the cooking process, it retains the sweetness of the ingredients, making the dish so flavorful, like no other risotto that we’ve eaten before. Everything is cooked in a single pot, so there are lesser things to wash up. I was very pleasantly surprised the 16cm Le Creuset Dutch Oven is big enough to cook a Risotto for a family of 4!
How to care for Le Creuset pots?
Caring for Le Creuset Dutch Ovens is a breeze. After cooking, let the pot cool before washing. Do not plunge a hot dutch oven into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel. If there are food residues, fill the pot with warm water and let soak for a while before washing (sometimes I let it soak overnight). Avoid using metallic pads, scourers or abrasive cleaning agents on the cooking surface. After washing, make sure it is fully dry before you store it away.

I would love to win this because my daughter is a slow eater and because of le creuset’s heat retaining ability, I am sure she will eat hot food throughout her meal without me reheating. I would sear chicken over the stove, add pumpkins and potatoes and finish up in the oven. The best part is i wouldn’t need an extra oven ware just to roast it..so convenient!

I love that the pot can retain heat well and keep my food warm for a longer time. Would love to cook some stewed beef using it. It would be great that my hubby could still enjoy the stew without the need for reheating after his long day at work. I also love the fact that it is easy to clean, which is definitely something I don’t particularly enjoy!
It’s in sugar pink and milky pink, need I say more 🙂 Your risotto dish inspired me to cook a hearty paella dish if I win this set!
Have heard much about Le Creuset cookware and this pot is nice to cook for a small family of 3. The risotto looks so yummy, or a hearty stew would be great too!

Hi! I heard so much about Le Creuset’s cooking abilities and I would love to own one! Actually I don’t cook very often and so the best thing I love about Le Creuset is the pretty colours they come in, because it will motivate me to cook more often just so I can show off how pretty it is! (I know my husband would be eternally grateful to Le Creuset for that) The first thing I would cook in it would be my husband’s favourite dish from his late grandma: prawn sambal!

Can’t resist the sweet pink crockery and would love to make simple stews and porridge with such a reliable and established brand like Le Creuset. Thanks for the giveaway!
So pretty! Would love to add this baby to my collection!
I love to prepare home cooked food for my kids but always have the problem of overcooking as I am afraid that they are not well cooked and will continue to toss the food around. Would love to win this to prepare a yummy and hot meal for my family and I really love this sweet pink 🙂
I will like to win this cos I only have induction stove at home. Will be great for cooking baked rice for my family. =)
I’m 4 weeks away from popping! The Le Creuset pot will be really useful to make one pot dinners with for my husband and I, especially since we have decided not to have a helper.
Dishes that I have in mind include a beef & guiness stew, pasta casserole, seafood pot pie and a beer bacon cheeseburger soup. (No, you didn’t read the last one wrong. It takes only 30 mins to make, including prep time and it is the bomb!)
I have always been a huge fan of Le Creuset! I too, love cooking risotto for my 1 year old baby boy.

I would like to win this Le Creuset Round French Oven 16cm in Sugar Pink and a Baby Multi-Plate & Ramekin Set in Milky Pink as it will come in real handy for me to cook for my baby girl and 4 year old boy. I am a full time working mum and I love the swift and even heating/ heat retaining features, it makes things easier for me when I need to rush home to cook for my little ones after work. One pot meals are always on the top of my list!
I will definitely give the Easy Spinach, Salmon and Broccoli Risotto a try as it seems easy, fast, delicious and most importantly nutritious!
Okay I know this should not qualify as a professional reason for me liking this, but can I say it is TOO pretty in pink that I am convinced it willmake my baby food pretty too?
Have always wanted (and tried) to make risotto for my older child but either she’s not a foodie or more probably, it always ends up undercooked. Reading your review makes me excited that the coming baby may love my Le Creuset cooked risotto after all! Gimme gimme hope? 😉
I would love to win this because I’ve heard so much about this great brand but can’t afford to buy 1. Hope that I can try it and buy 1 the next time I can!!
I’m hoping to cook braised pork mushroom with it.
I’d love to win this, to cook for my husband and toddler and to add to our present (small) LC set! I would make a beef stew with barley!

There are so many things I can think of cooking using Le Creuset Dutch Oven, but the top of my list will be Lamb Shank! Something that I wanted to do but couldn’t because I didn’t have the proper cook ware.
Like when going to the gym, I believe that taking the effort to “dress up” will give me more motivation to exercise and keep fit 😛 I hope to win this set to give me more motivation to cook nutritious, sumptuous meals for my family to keep up with our healthy lifestyle goals.
Will cook more healthy one-pot meals e.g. prawns & fennel rocket rissoto if I have this!

I cook using the large 26 cm wide one for the family, but was hoping to get something smaller for cooking meals just for the kids or for lunches when the hubby is not around. The one up for this giveaway would be the perfect size! The plate would be perfect for our youngest too! Thank you for this lovely giveaway!
What we’ll cook in it: We usually do our soups, stews and porridge in the dutch oven. Soups always taste better when simmered slowly in it since the flavours develop nicely!
Would love to win this cos my daughter loved home cook food so I can use these to cook more home cook food with love!!
Would love to win this. Such a pretty pink, it’s going to match my other pink pots in the kitchen! Would want to cook either beef stew or chicken and potato stew in it for my two little ones if I win!

Why I would love to win: as a newly minted SAHM im constantly thinking of new recipes for my baby and husband which are rich in flavors, healthy, and involve braising, stewing or slow cooking. Would love to win this set of gorgeous high quality Le creuset cookware 🙂
What I would cook: A family friendly seafood bouillabaisse or braised pork belly
I have a beautiful 15 mths old toddler who is not good at solids… She prefers milk & soup
She rejected most of the solid foods i prepared 🙁
But i do not give up preparing solids for my toddler
Hoping that one day she’ll finish whatever i prepare 🙂
On weekdays, i woke up at 5.30am to prepare lunch & dinner for her before i leave for work.
For weekends, i will prepare lunch & dinner for her too.
Everyday im racking my brain on the ingredients to buy & what to prepare for her..
I hope i can win this giveaway as Le Creuset products are of very good quality.
I’m sure foods cooked with Le Creuset Oven will taste exceptionally delicious!
And what more with the sweet pink colour, i’m sure my girl will finish everythings on the beautiful multi-plate!
My biggest wish is to see my girl happily eating the foods that i prepare for her..
Will you grant me my wish?
Thanks Le Creuset for the generous giveaway..
Whenever i passed by Le Creuset display counter, i was drooling inside..
So beautiful!!! Buttttt the price is not what i can afford.
Thanks Angie for hosting this giveaway..
Hope one day i can be like you , preparing my child’s meals using Le Creuset Oven 🙂
This is lovely!
I desperately need to feed two fussy eating pre-schoolers, a weaning baby and the most loving and fussiest of all husband.
This risotto dish would be my first as it reminds us of our honeymoon in Italy and briefly takes us back to a time before hearing a yes to “could you change his diapers” echoed the same tune as “I do love you”.
Why: I’d love to make one pot dishes for my family of five with this beautiful set of cookware from Le Creuset.
What I’d try to cook: I would love to cook a wholesome ragu sauce to go with some spelt pasta. Beef ragu sounds good to me. MMM!
I love to win it for my mother who’s everyday cooking for us.
With the awesome Le Creuset, she can cook many healthy and delicious food for us and especially for her most precious little ones. She would be able to cook my nieces and nephews favorite porridge, baked rice and the healthy risotto, probably it is good to use too when another baby is arriving soon.
The Le Creuset pot is so beautiful! I would love to try out your risotto recipe for when my nephew comes stay at my new house!!

1) Hope to get this Le Creuset Gift Set because I would like to try this famous brand of cookware, and it is in such a sweet colour – sure to perk up my mood while cooking!
2) I might try your Easy Spinach, Salmon and Broccoli Risotto recipe since we have not tried this grain before. Salmon is our favourite food and I like the balanced and healthy use of ingredients.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I have a few Le Creuset pots and I love cooking with them. They are functionally awesome and aesthetically pleasing.
I would love to own the Sugar Pink French Oven you are giving away because the sweet colour complements by kitchen. 16cm is a great size for one pot meal for one person or for a cooking a simple dish for two. It will be a great addition to my current Le Creuset pots collection which are all bigger than 20cm.
Would love to win this lovely set and try cooking using it.
Would try cooking stew for my family & try new recipes for my 2 YO toddler.
Getting the Le Creuset giveaway would be like getting a pot of gold. Anything that goes in it will taste good as it adds more richness to the dish. It makes you want to never stop cooking using this one pot dish wonder. Period. 😉
I have several Le Creuset including soup pot la marmite, wok, grill and a few stoneware, they’re the best, I couldn’t keep myself buying more of them. I’d like to have this little one to cook for my roommate’s 5 year-old daughter. And Im saving money for a big size oval dutch oven!
I would use dutch oven for EVERYTHING from beef + redWine, duck clavicle + quail eggs, chicken + potato, White gourd soup…..
But for this smaller one, I’d cook some herb congee for the little girl to feel cool in this summer time ^^

The sugar pink colour is ohhh so sweet! drools…
ok, now the serious note.
As a working mom of 3, time is P-r-e-c-i-o-u-s. I love 1 pot cooking. Its the best time saver ever! Winning this set will mean more heart-warming casseroles, stews and baked rice/pasta for the whole family. I will love to try cooking a traditional hokkien braised pork with dark soya (more fondly known as Tau you bak). My kids friendly version will hv leaner meat, carrots and potatoes, these roots will soak up the sauce so well. oooh yummm
My wife said she will only cook my favourite beef stew on my coming birthday if I win this pretty pink pot. Wish me luck 😉

Would love to win the giveaway because a milky pink Le creuset would be my idea of a pot of gold 🙂
I cook daily for my family and love to take photos as well. Nothing more Instagram worthy than a Le Creuset set in milky pink! And I’ll use the ramekins to make Pandan soufflés. And to try out broccoli and salmon. Nutrition for young and old! 🙂
Why? Heard that Le creuset is a very useful cookware. Love to try it
What to cook: delicious Cantonese soups for the soul
Because I have always wanted to try cooking in one of these cool dutch ovens and Le Creuset is THE brand to use. I just want to bake some beans and braise some lamb in it because I heard it’s just delicious when done right with a good dutch oven
baby pink so sweet! I want!
I will cook french onion soup!
I love le creuset simply! Thanks for sharing the recipe & giveaway! Cheers.
The pots are good quality cast iron pots! I would love to cook beef stew!

I want to win coz it’s a pink pot! Everyone needs a pink pot!! It pretty enough to sit on the counter top and not use it for cooking haa! But I would love to cook chicken stew in them!
I want to win this Le Creuset Gift Set because I’ve always been a fan of their products and I really love this French Oven, especially in sugar pink! I would love to cook a salmon and pasta dish with the oven.
I would love to win it as I love to cook & it’s going to be a lovely addition to my kitchen.
I would love to use it to try out various dishes such as baked rice, chicken stew, braised pork, soup, spaghetti sauce, etc etc.
Thanks for the chance!
My daughter loves pink and she loves to be a chef. I’m sure she will be very pleased to own her own pink Le Creuset so she can cook with me her favorite carbo – rice/noodles with brocoli and salmon fish.
I’d love to win this as I’ve never owned a Le Creuset before !! Looks wonderful and would be useful for my new oven !
Why : I’ve just started cooking last year and is already a huge fan of le creuset. Would really hope to win this to add on to my collection
What i want to cook : Trying out all yummy recipes shared by bloggers
I am a quintessential peranakan – love to cook and eat. And in my younger days, I remember home as a place that’s always filled with aromas from the kitchen. Now I would love to fill my kitchen with such fragrance again. However due to a hectic lifestyle, it isn’t easy cooking after work.
The Le Creuset will be perfect as I can use it to cook one pot dishes! Easy peasy, throw in the ingredients and let it cook. And if I win this, I’m going to cook my grandma’s ayam buah keluak and fill my kitchen with smells from my childhood and it will be home.
My new kitchen does not have the complete set of cooking utensils and equipment yet. I would love to win this awesome Le Creuset Gift Set and learn to cook more healthy and delicious dishes for my family. And the Baby Multi-Plate & Ramekin Set would be very useful for my baby.
I really enjoy cooking with my LC cookware and a smaller Dutch oven will be really useful to prepare fresh meals like porridge and baked pasta for my toddler, thanks!
Hi! Hope to win the Le Creuset Gift set as i’ve been hearing rave reviews on it. Plus the color! So pretty! Would love to win this and eventually use them once my new house is ready!
Guess i could cook lotsa stuff with this baby, the best would be all sorts of stews and soups for my darlings!

I would love to win this awesome Le Creuset set to “assist” me with my “lazy” cooking.
This famous “French Oven” can do so much miracle, I am not a very skilful “chef” but I make enough effort to cook up decent meals, I do struggle here n there, but e love is great… I hope to cook my comfort, delish-ously made with love stews.. my family favorite includes chicken, potatoes & carrot stew, we also fancy e beef & radish stew.. n Hungarian goulash should taste awesome using this “magical” pot..
I would like to give this Le Creuset to my sister as she have a 5 year old son and coming baby No.2.
She can use this cookware to cook a delicious and nutrition meals for her children.
I love the sweet pink colour pot. I hope to win this pot to cook a healthy meal for my 3 kids. They love to eat my home cook food. Their favourites are salmon baked rice and chicken stew with lots of potatoes and carrots. With this pot I can cook other yummy food for them when they come back from school and serve them with warm food.

I would love to own one as I don’t have a sturdy braising pot ! I would cook beef stew French style if I get this !
Would love to win this as the pots I have are non stick n heard recently that those are potentially harmful especially for my young babies! 🙁 am a stay at home mom with no helper, so this would be a lifesaver cooking my mom’s family recipe of chicken mushroom dump everything in pot recipe!!!
I love to win the PINK 16cm Le Creuset French Oven and Baby Multi-Plate & Ramekin Set!!! I have been using the 28cm (dark blue) to cook one pot dish and they have turn out really well because of their even cooking, especially my curry.
I need the smaller one to cook some seafood or chicken bake rice. And some dessert with the ramekin. My kitchen will turn out to be very princess like with all the pink Le Creuset.

I want to win this because I need have a busy schedule as a sahm. Getting the house in order, picking up the elder son from school, getting my own lunch and making sure my baby gets her meals too. An easy and quick way to get heathy food on the table for the children is most important to me.
What would I cook of I won the set? Everything and anything! I am not a good cook and can’t walk out of the kitchen with a salivating dish for lunch. Learning how to use Le Creuset properly will help save a lot of time and at the same time, give me the opportunity to cook like a MasterMomChef!

Heard very good reviews on Le Creuset’s cookware. Will like to experience it for myself. Also will like to get some new kitchen toys for my new place.
Will like to try cooking risotto. Did not know that it’s this easy to cook this yummy and nutritious meal. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
The Le Creuset gift set IS gorgeous. We are a family of 4 so I think the oven is the perfect size for us. My wife and I are novice cooks so I have been trying to convince my wife to invest in a Dutch Oven for our house because it’s a wonderful oven – you can’t go wrong with it! Your Spinach, Salmon and Broccoli Risotto looks DIVINE! It will be the perfect recipe to try first if I win this. Yum!

I would love to win this Le Creuset Gift Set because my daughter is very particular when she has her meals. She would ask that her food portions are separated (rice, dish, soup are to be plated in segments). So the Milky Pink Baby Multi-Plate & Ramekin Set would be a perfect gift for her.
I would cook my girl’s favourite Japanese curry in the 16cm French Oven 😉
I love pink! I also enjoy cooking for my family and would like to try out this risotto recipe!

I have yet to own a Le Creuset cookware. I love that it’s so beautiful and can be used on stove and in oven, perfect for me who loves to cook and bake. My first bake will likely be a no-knead bread as I will love to see how a bread turns out in a pot!
I would love to cook my vegetarian dishes in it! It would be perfect cooking and presentation!
Why : Because I want to add on to my collection.
What to cook : I will use to cook my porridge filled with superfoods!
