Wine For Double Tomato Risotto.

Spittoon - wine news and tasting notes.[Spittoon - wine news and tasting notes.] A new posting from Though Small Its Tasty gives details of making a double tomato risotto. Served with contrasting (in texture and colour) steamed asparagus the dish looks very inviting.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

Here you find some interesting dishes: Vegetable Lasagna baked with an Alfredo sauce, Forest Mushroom Risotto, Vegetarian Omelet, Cream of Leek soup, or Cheese and Jalapeno Tamales. The problem lies in trying to get what you ordered, without the addition of some 'complimentary' meat items like bacon bits or chicken stock.

Oh, it appears inviting, especially after living in the Midwest where frequently... dishes: Vegetable Lasagna baked with an Alfredo sauce, Forest Mushroom Risotto, Vegetarian Omelet, Cream.... OK, skip that. Hmm, soup looks good, Tomato Florentine, with the V for Vegetarian proudly pre-pended

[Skinnychef.com] Jenn's Kitchen Diary - A Culinary Weblog by Jennifer Iserloh: It was potato processed in a unique way to imitate the texture and appearance of risotto. I was so intrigued that I had to take a bite of it before breaking into the foie gras. To my surprise, it had a rich, caramelized, full mouth feel - richer and more complex than any risotto I'd ever tasted! Then I broke the tender skin of the perfectly sautéd portion of foie gras. Heavenly, though I have to admit - for the first time in my life - I could have eaten the garnish alone.

http://nancyland.blogspot.com [Nancyland.blogspot.com] Nancyland, Vancouver Foodie Fun: March 2005: I think I gravitated to this dish because I hadn’t ever had halibut wrapped in Parma ham and served with chicken jus before, but in the end, I found the combination to be a little too much for the fish, and a bit too salty for my taste. I think my companion’s dish of seared Alaskan scallops, shrimp, spinach and corn risotto, tomato and garlic butter jus worked better. That tomato and garlic butter sauce was lovely.

[Capediningout.kissblogs.com] Cape Dining Out :: THIS WEEK'S RESTAURANT REVIEW: NAUSET BEACH ...:     The other pasta dish sampled was the house-made ravioli with a braised duck and spinach filling.  The sauce was a vin santo-brown butter sauce with roasted garlics, and the dish was topped with freshly shaved parmegiano reggiano cheese.  Vin Santo (wine of saints) is a specialty of the Italian wine culture, made with dried grapes and aged in chestnut barrels for its first fermentation.  Most vin santos are sweet, and all are viscous in texture, high in alcohol , smooth and intensely flavored.  In this dish, it made for a wonderful sauce with the ravioli, and the dish worked well.

http://forums.egullet.org [Forums.egullet.org] eG Forums -> Slow Food Diary -Study in Italy: The crabs were still kinda alive - not really but you can see they were just caught a few hours ago and driven down to the Marche! Some were still happely crawling around! For 1 kilo of the crabs the chef just added 3 egg yolks with a touch of salt. He said they are attracted to the salt - and them eating the yolky salty stuff purges them of a lot of exess liquid - it was true - the dish they were in, with the yolk mix clearly had a puddle of juice in it as opposed to the dish with just the plain crabs, and it was much more liquid than the 3 yolks would have added! Also, by the crab eating the yolk, when it is fried, you can notice the presence of the rich yolk inside the crab!

This time the newspaper was the April 28th Southwest Wave. The business section featured an article about Mommie Helen’s Bakery, a Southland (Colton, CA- where is that?) bakery whose biggest customer was Shaq.
