Risotto...

i've always put off cooking risotto simply due to the sheer amount of effort required.
well, at least till today.



looks like baby food don't it?
yeah, here's my recipe for vegetable risotto.

mushrooms. cauliflower. onion.
celery. garlic.
half cup of white wine.
approx 4 cups of chicken stock.
mozzarella cheese.
1 cup of arborio mediterranean rice.
dried herbs. sea salt. pepper

#1 dice the mushrooms, cauliflower and onion.
#2 start stir-frying the garlic and the above vegetables.
#3 add the rice and continue as before on medium heat.
#4 add in the wine and keep stirring till its all absorbed.
#5 mix in the dried herbs, salt and pepper.
#6 ladle in a cup of chicken stock, and keep stirring till its all absorbed.
#7 repeat the above for the remaining stock, this should take a looong 30mins.
#8 stir through the cheese, and serve.

it tasted really good...and worthwhile for the effort expensed.
but then again, it's not everyday you could spend hours just standing there and stirring like an idiot.
