Edit... I wonder what is some genius disagreeing with here lol

Tbh, sometimes I wanna "disagree" with your posts. It's just jealousy that I can't eat them but since there's no "jealous" icon I just hit the "hug" icon. Sigh...this plate does look good, as usual

Anyone has a right to disagree here, thats why we have the button. But I always said, if you are going to click it, explain why. And in this thread no one should ever click it. Its what ppl here cook and eat.

And when this current pandemic thing is done, and before another disaster hits, if you make your way west to GTA you are welcome to stop by.

Well now...this takes ALL the thrill out of my kidnapping plans 🙄 but with parents in 'sauga and the near resumption of Toronto head office trips, I'll be sure to take you up on this.

Side note: I'm with you 100% on the "disagree." Just explain yourself. I've made the case for civil discourse in another thread. It was met with... disagrees 🤣

Chicken lok lak. Traditionally made with beef, it's how Cambodian parents get kids to eat salad.

That looks awesome!

Looks delicious! Can you tell us what's in them? Is that beets and garbanzos on the right?

Right is Beets, chickpeas, cucumber, and ricotta (spiralized the beets for a different meal, way too much work, will grate with food processor in future, but did taste amazing)
Left is taco seasoned textured vegetable protein with romaine, tomato, avocado, habanero, and quick pickled red onion.
They were super tasty and since the veggies were already chopped, it was super easy. This taco Tuesday trend might be onto something... 😂🤣🌮😋

Risotto

I'm in food love. 😘

I hate to ask you to post another recipe, but if you have the time, I would really appreciate it. Thank you! 💕

This risotto is a basic recipe and then I change it up depending on what I have on hand. You can use mushrooms (I use already cooked), green beans, radicchio, saffron, walnuts, ..... .

First of all I weigh out the rice--I used arborio and for 5 people 400g (and I have some leftover risotto).
Then in a heavy sauce pan I cover the bottom with EVOO and add finely chopped onion, carrot, celery and parsley
(I have this mixture frozen raw in ice cube trays, because I use it often), and on a low flame start melting the
cubes--used 2.
Meantime I toast the rice in a frying pan on low heat. Just slightly.
Then I add the rice to the oil and veg in the saucepan--stir
Quickly add white wine or beer, about half a cup
Then I add the cream--keep stirring and adding water a little at a time
I add veg broth powder, black pepper, frozen baby shrimp, and a couple of chopped tomatoes--keep on stirring (you don't want it to stick to the
bottom so keep adding half a cup of water at a time).
The rice cooks in about 25 min.
I add the grated zucchini (A cup and a half?) about 5 min before it's finished and I add the last water. Taste and add more veg broth powder
(it's salty so no other salt) if it needs salt.
Watch it and stir the last 5 min and all the extra liquid should be absorbed. Then turn off the flame and let it sit 2
min. Then add grated Parmigiano Reggiano, about half a cup and stir. If you add the cheese too soon it will get
stringy and not creamy.

The success to risotto is timing and you have to watch it. This can only come with practice, so don't be afraid--just jump in and start. Mistakes come with the territory.

@snowflake954, thank you! I'm picking up the rice at the grocery store next week. I've got plenty of time to stir these days. 😉

Any time you've got a question, just ask. I'm happy to share whatever I know.

Snowflake ~ Thank you for posting your recipes. I wish more folks would do that because sometimes the photos just look like globs of mixed up stuff on plates. JMHO
