Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula

Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula / Bev Cooks

This gets real. This gets very real. Next time you see thick cubed ham in a vacuum-packed thingy, get it. It’s right next to the Canadian bacon. Because we’re about to make the hardiest risotto ya ever did know. But also we’re sliding in velvety arugula so it’s basically vegan! Just kidding. Don’t come at […]

Cajun Risotto with Crawfish Tails and Andouille Sausage / Bev Cooks

Still losing my mind over this and it’s been 15 hours. Because listen – CAJUN. RISOTTO. Not etouffee! Not jambalaya! Good old fashioned risotto, but crazy infused with cajun (creole, cajun, creole, cajun – let’s call the whole thing off) flavors. And on top of that, I used crawfish tails. But we need to discuss […]

Did you know that in ancient times, “autumn” actually translates to “eat risotto?” It does. But don’t try to look it up because Merriam and Webster had a fight last night and the site’s down. Don’t you just love risotto? I could snarf it year round, but I especially dig it during the fall, because […]
