New Post on mezze & tapas today. Lemony Pea Risotto
For many years, the idea of making risotto was absolutely daunting to me. For whatever reason, I had a block about risotto, and just believed I couldn't make it. Then watching TV one evening, I saw a life changing segment on a show by a famous British Chef. OK -- it wasn't actually "life" changing -- but it was "risotto" changing.
The story, shot on a beach of all places, gave me all the insight I needed to get over my risotto fear. Now, I'm hoping to share that same insight with you.
Risotto is marvelous because you can pair it with just about any flavor, and its creamy deliciousness becomes the perfect accent for your chosen highlight. And it really is pretty easy. The two most important keys to risotto are great ingredients and patience. Not that risotto takes a long time (it doesn't really) but because you can'[ rush the process.
