Post #46

still had half a pot of the pumpkin veg puree left, so on monday i took the whole pot over to mum's and cooked a ham and pumpkin risotto (well, 3 part arborio rice plus 1 part risoni as i ran out of rice... =.=)! or else i would probably need to have pumpkin soup every night for the whole week to finish it off!!

stole sis' fresh ricotta. hehe. love love love that golden orange colour! oh, the orange bits are carrots by the way...


-Pumpkin and ham risotto with fresh ricotta-

also made a quick salad. i like having a salad to go with risotto, because risottos are quite heavy stuff, so it's good to have a salad to lighten up the taste buds.


-Fennel, green + pear salad with white wine vinaigrette-

Fennels are selling quite cheaply at this time of the year! and i found that the bigger they are, the stronger the liquorice flavour! i quite like this unique taste, and as long as you have something citrus or some fruits or some mixed green to go with it, the liquorice taste would not dominate :)
