| SUGGESTION OF THE WEEK | |||
| RISOTTO Our Italian neighbors brought us some very good dishes. Risotto is one of them and this dish is now often part of our French menus. I will suggest a seafood one which sounds fabulous… Just a reminder : parmesan cheese is not used for seafood rice / pasta in Italy. Ingredients for 4 persons : 300 gr [2/3 lb] round rice / 250 gr [1/2 lb] shelled shrimps / 2 small zucchinis / the juice of ˝ lemon / 1 shallot / 1 blade of thyme / 1.5 pint of stock cube / 1 Tbspoon double cream / 3 Tbspoons olive oil / salt & pepper - Peel and mince the shallot ; prepare the stock cube. - Fry the shallot in 2 Tbspoons olive oil for 2 minutes, then add the rice and mix it until it becomes transparent (reckon 2 to 3 minutes) then add the lemon juice and mix. When the rice has absorbed it, pour a ladle of stock and mix a bit ; repeat this with all the stock (add a ladle as soon as the previous one has been absorbed). This will take you around 15 minutes, depending on the rice type and the cooking you like (this makes the stock quantity approximate as well). - Meanwhile, mince the zucchinis and fry them for a few minutes in 1 Tbspoon olive oil, then add the shrimps and fry them for another few minutes ; add salt & pepper. - When the rice is cooked, add the cream, then the thyme leaves, then the shrimps and zucchinis. Serve immediately. |
