Runner Bean Risotto
Like most households, we have a division of labour. Andy is brilliant with technical stuff, good with tools, big and strong. He does the traditional 'guy' stuff. I love cooking, gardening, and am a bit of a neat freak. I do the traditional 'girl' stuff. Sometimes the two overlap with varying consequences. Take this blog, for example. This my experiment in technology. I set it up ALL by myself and take all of the photographs ......
That is to say, I take the photographs when I remember to charge my camera battery, which I forgot to do so this is the only photo for this recipe. I'll make this brief. My neighbour, John, gave me some lovely runner beans and I made them into a risotto using THIS RECIPE . Of course I didn't follow the recipe word for word. I substituted cream cheese for the mascarpone and left out the broad beans. I used dried mixed herbs instead of fresh because that's what I had to hand. It was VERY good. If you have a glut of runner beans, this could be the recipe for you.
Excuse me, please.... I am off to charge my battery!
PS- Gender assignment of chores was meant in a light hearted way. Have no doubt, I am a VERY liberated woman.

OOOH I LOVE risotto...but I cannot cook it. I try and try but either it doesn't cook....or I just turn my back for 1 second and it goes mushy. DD is The Risotto Queen and I shall give her this and drop hints....
ReplyDeleteI hope the hint works.... nothing beats a good risotto! : )
DeleteThat does sound delicious! We have a fairly traditional division of labour here too - it works for us, though Rupert is a brilliant cook and I can use power tools with the best of them so we do swap about as needed!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty good with a paint brush so I am the master decorator. I am not allowed power tools because I get carried away and can't stop myself! ; )
