[Photo] Risotto

[karohemd]

Tonight I made a risotto with asparagus tips, flat beans and mushrooms:

Veg stock I made last night, almost depleted because I only thought of taking stage photos towards the end. Sorry about the state of my kitchen but I haven't had a chance to clean it since cooking last night.


The risotto base about halfway through cooking, just after a ladleful of stock had been added.


Steamed asparagus tips and flat beans, to be added just before the end


Freshly grated Parmesan


Plated

Imagine some parmesan shavings on top which I forgot and didn't want to set up the camera again.

Looks yummy! I wondered what the "flat beans" were going to be, but now I see they were what I call runner beans. Runner beans have a special place in my memories of childhood; the fence separating my parents' front garden from that of our elderly neighbours (very keen on gardening) was adorned with a huge collection of runner bean plants. My mother used to send me out to pick them for lunch. In autumn I would open the dried brown pods of left-over runner beans (there were always too many to eat) and find beautiful perfect shiny pink and black-speckled beans inside, ready to plant (if we had wanted any more runner bean plants!). I still feel a deep affection for runner beans.

That's what I thought when I saw them but they were called "flat beans" in the description of my vegetable box and they are not quite the same (http://www.thinkvegetables.co.uk/veginfo.html?cart=11723082027326190&v_SKU=105601722914523).

Schön, was isses denn? Johannisbeeren und was?

[jupiter-jones.livejournal.com]

ich erkenne noch himbeeren und erdbeeren. und jemand der namentlich gerade nicht genannt werden möchte (*grins*) meint noch maracuja- oder aprikosen-eis zu erkennen und die ringe könnten marzipan sein. die vermutung. das bild hab ich illegalerweise von dem bruder dieser person genommen, also nicht selbst photographiert :)

Soso, incognito-Leser. ;o)

Ah, Eis könnte sein.

[jupiter-jones.livejournal.com]
