Risotto
Has anybody been reading the comic Luann over the last week or two? The storyline is moderately compelling, I guess (Luann’s brother wants to impress the pretty lady he has the hots for, and he has his friend cook a gourmet dinner for her to happen onto when she stops by his place to pick something up). Really, though, what it does the most is make me want some risotto.
I really, really want some risotto, made with a nice aged, nutty cheese. To tell you the truth, while I like risotto just fine, I’m not one of those people who lives and dies by it. I enjoy it, but if I see it on a menu, I may or may not order it, depending on what else is available. I had some super-good black risotto (squid ink, maybe? I can’t remember exactly what turned it black) with frog legs the second-to-last time we were in Minneapolis. Sadly, I can’t remember what restaurant it was at.
But dang. Risotto sounds really good. Does anyone have a favorite recipe?
