saturday march 27th

i made risotto for the first time...in a very long time..or ever...i dont remember.



why do ppl make a big production thing of risotto? maybe i didnt do it correctly. but it tasted effing good. i sauteed an onion, added the arborio rice (is that what it's called?). 'toasted it' like a douchebag, added some white wine. when the wine evaporated. i added a ladle full of simmering chicken stock at a time, waiting for it to be absorbed between each ladle. a bit of a pain i guess because you have to stand over it the whole time, stirring...but i liked it, damnit.



when about a litre of stock had absorbed and i thought the rice was the proper doneness i added a big handful of freshly grated parmesan, a tablespoon or so of butter and a ton of fresh thyme.



sorry for the blurry.

served with roasted chicken thighs and asparagus......lalala. it was creamy and delicious and maybe i will eat the leftovers RIGHT NOW.
