Three Sisters Risotto

In our blog section about Helen's Bay Community Garden (More...), I have been explaining what 'The Three Sisters' are and how they work. In short, the three sisters are sweetcorn, squash and beans. When planted together they become a form of companion planting wherein all plants benefit from each other.
The three sisters are also ingredients that work well together in the kitchen. The sweetcorn is incredibly sweet and has a nice bite. The pumpkin/squash is also sweet, and has deep flavour and a creamy texture. And the beans simply taste beany and have good texture!

In our latest YouTube video I'm showing you how to pick these ingredients, and more importantly, how to cook with them by making a fantastically seasonal risotto. Now risotto is always a handy recipe to know that you can customise and make the way you want to and it is simply delicious. It's really easy to make and it's a fantastic meal for this time of the year. So we hope you enjoy this video and that you will try our recipe, and if you have a vegetable garden we recommend planting the three sisters for next year to get a bountiful crop of delicious veg!
