Rissotto UFO

Odd that I am doing a few series on Flickr: of cameras, humidors and risotto but I suppose it just falls in line with my biorhythm.

 

I think sage, arborio rice and authentic stock are (slightly) overrated As essential to a good Rissotto.

 

The key ingredients in this one are: a splendid thick chewy country slab bacon from Sylvia's in Harlem (from a breakfast of slab bacon, grits, candied yams and eggs), Sweet peas, corn, cheese, chestnuts, gremolata and a good dose of freshly grated nutmeg. I do miss the splash of wine and a rich meat broth. And an extremely subtle grating kimchee would add the undetectable yet sour tang that this dish needs.

 

The second part of this photo is just my wandering notes: a copy of Francois de Menil's custom construction to adapt for a UFO camera I'm thinking about.
