Hello, would you like some of my microwave risotto?
Truth be told, I did not have high expectations for this pre-packed risotto. Ever had one of those frozen microwave Indian curry that comes in a clear plastic container? The ones that the rice always turns out half uncooked in the middle, and soaked with an unusually sweet orange tinge curry that leave a not so pleasant lingering buttery finish?
This is what I thought I was getting myself into, and my excuse is that it was on special, only $3!
I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out to be everything I want in my risotto; It was silkily gooey with a hint of heat and spice, and scattered with visible pieces of pumpkin and spinach (keeping in mind that this a a pre-packed meal). All it took was 3 mins in the microwave, and it was portioned for 2 serves.
No, I did not share it with anyone.
This made my day! I had pumpkin risotto tonight, basil and tomato risotto tomorrow it is.
Asparagus risotto with garlic prawn & squid. I like.
