Risotto



Risotto... seems so easy to make... and yet... requires a lot of patience and dedication. Soon to be added to the menu, as a side dish, appetizer or even main course, Risotto is one of the most versatile foods... and also comfort food.
The other day, Chef Edgar did not allow me to choose what I wanted to eat. He simply said he would make something special. And it was special!!!! He made risotto with peas and smoked trout. The first bite combined the creaminess of the risotto with a mild smokiness... such a beautiful perfume and texture... the bites of smoked trout revealed themselves as slivers in the risotto. The blanched peas added crunchiness and color. Finished with grated parmesan cheese... this was more than a good bite. It was the perfect bite.

I also tried the risotto with mushrooms... perfect alone or with duck breast. Just make sure you ask!!!!!!
