Daring Cook.

I recently completed my second Daring Cook challenge. The 2010 March Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Eleanor of MelbournefoodGeek and Jess of Jessthebaker. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make risotto. The various components of their challenge recipe are based on input from the Australian Masterchef cookbook and the cookbook Moorish by Greg Malouf.


This was super fun and super timely, as I wanted to learn how to make my own stock anyway so I don't have to give Nick canned stock. The stock took a little while but wasn't a lot of work - just chopping and some watching. It smelled really good as it was "brewing!" I did the stock on Friday night and made the risotto on Sunday. I made the lemon risotto. I think I got the consistency right and it tasted nice and lemony, but maybe I'm just not a fan of lemon risotto in general. I plan to try other flavors soon!

Adding the butter - the butter made it really rich and creamy.
