Tomato risotto per favor !

Risotto is definitely one of my favorite meals ! Not to brag but my mother makes the all time best risotto in the entire universe and no other risotto can compare ! However she was not here with me during the holidays so I attempted to make one myself and it was quite delicious !
You start by letting chopped onions sweat out in the pan with olive oil and then you had the risotto rice and let it cook till translucent!
You then turn the heat down a little bit and add wine then stir until it's been absorbed, then add some stock and stir until absorbed and then do the same with water. The key is to never stop stirring, it takes about 25 minutes.

I also added beef and lardons.

Start with one glass of white wine and then 1L of any broth you like.

I added a can of tinned tomatoes.

 And one or two cans of water (whatever it takes to get the rice perfectly cooked i.e. still slightly crunchy)

I topped it off with buffalo mozzarella and parmesan, a few basil leaves would be nice as well.

Cabbage madness

Let us continue with the tales of my holidays...
So while I was in Paris juicing it up, I still had to find a way to use up the rest of the cabbage, I pretty much ate it at every meal !
For the first dinner, I cooked some cabbage and served it with smoked salmon and green apples (and a little drizzle of lemon juice)

The next day, I mixed some cooked cabbage with rice and added chopped tomatoes, ham and cheese, with a bit of pepper (no salt).

It was actually delicious, I didn't think I could enjoy cabbage as much as I did during the few days that I stayed in Paris.
