This week on the Menu Plan:
Risotto season is back! I love it in all versions - and it's a great way to use up leftovers.
The disclaimers: it's NOT difficult to make; it does NOT need to be stirred constantly; it should NOT be loaded with extra butter and fat; and it should NOT be stiff.
It should be almost soup-like when you take it off heat and pour it into the serving platter. It will continue to thicken and just, barely, hold it's shape on a plate. That's what makes it creamy and luscious! The risottos I've eaten in Italy have all been served in flat soup bowls and eaten with a spoon.
Bon Appétit!
