Confession: I'd never made risotto before! I had no idea just how time-consuming it would be, how much my arm would hurt from the constant stirring, as I added chicken stock to my rice little-by-little. I think I got a risotto facial from the steam. The picture doesn't do it justice... served with some warm focaccia bread, it really hit the spot. Mmmm, comfort.
This would be a great side dish with some chicken, but today it was good enough on its own for lunch!
UPDATE: For dinner? Rigatoni in meat sauce. A heavy food day but DELICIOUS.
mmmm risotto! i made a prosciutto & asparagus risotto one time-- it was really intimidating (the reason why i haven't tried it again) but super yummy!
