Risotto for lunch today. Saffron, shallot , rice sautéed in a little butter, some white wine and chicken stock for the liquid. The diced ham and asparagus were added at the finish, along with a knob of butter and freshly grated Parmigiana. I was out of rice for risotto, although I had plenty of rice for paella, I used Carolina Gold which turned out to be a more than respectable substitute.
And the last of the chocolate cake with sour cream and freshly made strawberry jam.
