My not-so-secret love: brown food.
Last night, I made risotto.
I took a chance making this. Like Tom, bda is not a huge mushroom fan, and when he saw the dried mushrooms soaking in the bowl, it was dubious face city. But, I tasked him with shredding lots of pecorino romano, which quieted his fears. Lots of cheese is never a bad thing. I also liberally salted after adding the cheese (the romano was quite salty to begin with, so I didn’t want to salt too early.)
Success? I thought so. bda had 3 helpings! And I just had another bowl of it for dinner. And I finally got to use my stock muffins (concentrated stock, frozen in a muffin tin, per Paul’s recommendation), which worked out quite nicely. But, do I see stock becoming the new burritos of my life? I do not.
