OKAY, let’s talk about something real quick before you yell at me all off-with-her-head style. Also, look at that. ^^ I mean my gosh. Okay but first. AH KNOW that the word “bruschetta” actually refers to the garlicky grilled bread in which the chopped tomatoes rest upon. And there’s no actual bread in this risotto. […]
Um, yeah. So this might sort of ruin you so good. Because it’s that one meal that no matter which way you look at it, you can’t kick it out of your mouth. You can’t. And because I was feeling a bit nostalgic whilst listening to some Alanis Morrisette the other day, I added baby […]
With prosciutto crisps! Don’t punch me in the pancreas, vegetarians. Have you ever swapped in barley in place of arborio rice? Oh man you should. It’s crazy. Totally new take on risotto. I’m not new to barley risotto, I just hardly ever make it or think about it. Which isn’t rightly selling this, is it. […]
And peas! Risotto with Shrimp, Bacon, Zucchini and Peas. The peas part. I’d like to think of this mess as a late summer kitchen sink risotto thingy. I MEAN, you can make it any time of year really. But right now it’s summer, so I’m calling it summer. Only because the shrimp isn’t in season […]
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 […]
As in, OATS. Oats oats. In risotto. Do you need to lie down? *This post is definitely in partnership with The Quaker Oats Company. But all total honesty and opinions are always my own, duders.* Listen to this insanity – this here recipe creation was my first ever time ever ever ever in the history […]
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 […]
You know how when you get chills little bumps raise up all over your skin? “Goosies” as J-Lo calls them? Okay, when I get the chills, they raise up in little patches. And ONLY on my left arm. Like, random little goosie patches. My right arm is completely normal, chill bumps performing gorgeously in an […]
Don’t you find making risotto so therapeutic? The saute of the onions, the toasting of the rice, the sizzle of the wine burning off, the pouring yourself a glass, the first ladle of the broth simmering in the absorbent-eager rice, the pouring yourself a second glass and noticing a tiny wrinkle on your neck . […]
SPAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IS HEEAAAAHHHH. Well, sort of. Technically it’s next week. But if you could sit next to me and witness this deafening performance of A CHORUS LINE being put on by 37,000 robins on my back porch at 6am, you’d agree. Spring is up in this piece. I’ve never said “up in this piece” […]
