Tonight I tried my hand at making risotto for the very first time. I have a recipe for lemon risotto and orange glazed chicken. It was super yummy! I have heard that risotto is hard to make, but I think it is just time consuming. It takes about a half hour, but you have to monitor it almost the whole time. This was difficult as my back does not like standing at a counter for that long. LOL However, I was very glad that it turned out. Matt even liked it! I love trying new dishes but that may get put on hold until the baby is born. :)
Speaking of the baby, he seems to be doing great. I still have not been able to get in to see a doctor here in TN but Will definitely lets me know he is there. Sometimes it feels like he is having a seizure or something because my stomach will just go crazy for a couple of seconds. I read that sometimes that is hiccups, but it only last for a couple of seconds so I don't think that is what it is.
One of the only problems these days is my kitty Loki thinks that he needs to walk on my stomach. And since he weighs like 20 lbs that does NOT feel wonderful. :) But I guess if that is the only thing I will take it.
what is Risotto???
ReplyDeleteRisotto is a way to cook rice. When you cook it you slowly add in chicken stock and stir a lot to build up the starches and it makes it very creamy. Risotto is always got lots of flavor too, you can add almost anything to it.
