Very inspiring. I appreciate that you're encouraging cooks to stay with their risotto--literally. It took me a few tries to realize that you have to "toast, splash, stir, ladle, taste" and develop a sense for your rice and when to add your ingredients. Bravo.
I love that you intentionally make too much. Surplus = aroncini. [I'm not using the "L" word anymore, haha]
And bacon and grapes. Going to try that with wild grapes this fall. Creative.
What a gorgeous post Lisa. When I was fresh out of uni, I decided that I needed to learn risotto - and then I could call myself a cook! I definitely didn't give it the love, care and attention you have here. It's almost melodic, you stirring away with your glass of wine.
Love your flavour adaptations too, fennel with lemon and parmesan is right up my street. This seems a great way to work with gochujang.
And of course, that fig compote sounds a delight. How clever to mix the sugar in that way. I will definitely have to try it!
Great post & such inspiring ideas!....
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment.
