Like you, I use risotto as a go-to ...Nice risotto!<br /><br />Like you, I use risotto as a go-to base for just about anything. I never liked the whole stir-constantly, keep-the-stock-boiling thing, though, so I did a blind taste test years ago.<br /><br />One risotto was made traditionally. One was made by adding stock intermittently, and stirring just when the stock was added. A third was made like rice -- put in the liquid, cover, and cook 'til it's done.<br /><br />There were differences in the three, but they were small. If you like risotto, but need to multitask during dinner prep, it'll still come out fine.<br /><br />I''m going to try your version with one of the butternut squashes we harvested last week.Tamarhttp://www.starvingofftheland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-75754751859406244092009-09-30T01:20:21.271+10:002009-09-30T01:20:21.271+10:00I love risotto too, especially mushroom.

A couple of times it was like rice pudding and another time it was just ordinary rice (not arborio) with mushrooms.

You are making such a difference.<br /><br />Secondly I saw in a post earlier this month that you are doing the tedious task of going through your photos. I had to do a similar task for my PhD, and found a free program called photomesa which helped enormously. You can download it from photomesa.com - I hope it helps.<br /><br />Thanks again<br /><br />Sarah in SydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-45926829983731433442009-09-29T21:44:08.601+10:002009-09-29T21:44:08.601+10:00That looks absolutely delicious!That looks absolutely delicious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37528068340578225172009-09-29T18:31:24.179+10:002009-09-29T18:31:24.179+10:00Thank you, Rhonda, for this tutorial.

I shall give this a try! <br /><br />I made the salmon mornay you wrote about a few weeks ago - it was absolutely delicious! <br /><br />I'm going to make another, this time a chicken one. <br /><br />I can see it being a family favorite for me in the years to come!<br /><br />I'm enjoying learning to cook from scratch. I made stuffed butternut squash stuffed with feta and basil a few weeks ago which is a river cottage treatment recipe - it was just delicious too! I know you have his books so I thought you might like to give that a try since you love pumpkin. <br /><br />I shall give this risotto a try and let you know how I go! :)<br /><br />Chantel from AshfieldChantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148517101102534114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-62104922295590073762009-09-29T15:40:04.638+10:002009-09-29T15:40:04.638+10:00YUM!

I chuckled a little when I saw this because I have roasted winter squash in the refrigerator right now that will go into risotto tomorrow. I roasted it tonight when I baked pizza for our dinner. <br /><br />I use a short grain brown rice for mine--it takes longer to cook but I like the added flavor and nutrition.Sarah in Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263808059871173238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-17988520556225188302009-09-29T11:35:15.457+10:002009-09-29T11:35:15.457+10:00That looks delicious.
