R. has wanted to make a risotto for a long time and when we finally saw this recipe in Vegetarian Planet we decided to go for it. (R. is also a big fan of barley).

I wouldn’t say the risotto was a particularly “summer” dish, but in Syracuse it’s often difficult to say what season it is, anyway. (more…)
