Risotto! If you're after weight gain, risotto also has plenty of butter and cheese. Definitely needs reheating, as it's super starchy and will set pretty solid as it cools down, but it is SO GOOD and infinitely flavourable. My personal favourite is roast lamb/mint/peas.

My goodness, I have been looking for this recipe for ever!If I remember correctly it was out of a new idea mag or similar. I had it slotted in my cookbook for years and used to make it regularly, then I lost it! Fantastic, thanks petal, you made my day!

Cookes should I cook the rice and cool it like I do for fried rice - or should the rice be hot

Do you mean for the chicken and rice dish! I dont think it matters. But from memory, it was cold.
