Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Pine Nuts. Loved the whole thing (except the pine nuts- decided I am not a fan).
Green lentil salad. Super nice flavor with leek, carrot, onion, garlic, thyme and parsley dressed with a sherry vinaigrette.
Polenta with caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese.
Risotto (mine). Very basic; onions sweated with butter, coat the arborio rice with said butter and onions and add stock, one cup at a time until risotto is cooked and saucy. Finish with more butter and Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper. Done.
Fried plantains with powdered sugar. Shut up.
I made risotto once about a year ago, and ever since then my boyfriend mentions it all the time, "When are you gonna make that creamy rice stuff again?" Lol! Yours is making me hungry! :D
ReplyDeleteA vegetarian's dream. I could almost do without meat for good if I could eat these kinds of savory carbs all the time. Too bad that my body and my taste buds don't agree on that. They all look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI feel you, NinnyH! I'm not a veggie but I easily could be. I don't really crave meat except an occasional roast chicken and my mom's pot roast.
ReplyDeleteI could live on cheese and bread!
