Red jasmine rice risotto with zucchini

Gently sautee a handfull of chopped garlic, onions and shallots then deglaze with a mouthfull or two of white wine.  Throw in red jasmine rice add water and let it cook for 45 minutes.   When the rice is just about tender drop 2-3 thinly sliced zuccini on top, cover and basically let them steem for 5 or so minutes.  Just before youre ready to serve add a generous amount of parmiggiano cheese and a bit of mozarella, fresh basil, black pepper and voila. Its pretty addictive and one serving usually isnt enough.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
