So I cheated! Everything I read about risotto says ‘lots of time, hard, specific rice’ and so on. Well I didn’t follow any recipe and the first two times I had failures that although edible weren’t special.
I am sure if I had the real thing at a great restaurant or at some brilliant cook’s home I might be ashamed of this dish but I don’t know any better. Enlighten me! Anyone know of a great place to get risotto?
Third time round I impressed myself by not only succeeding but using up three left over dishes! Started with some short brown left over rice. Took a big container full of left over cheese and cauliflower soup and stirred them both together. Cut up some left over thanksgiving ham and threw it in last. Stirred till it was plenty hot and creamy and then served it with some steamed broccoli. Home run this time! Oh it was pretty and yummy and until I know better I am sure I will make this amalgamation of left over meals again and again.
