My rissotto is usually made from crumbled gorganzola, extra sharp cheddar and fresh grated parmesean, though I am known to just chop up whatever good cheese I have to toss in there! I plate the steak and the sauce on top of a bed of rissotto. Looks elegant and tastes great, but besides stirring the rissotto, the effort is not too great!<BR/><BR/>Nate, you will have to compliment my mother in law on the stem ware! It certainly has taken a warm turn here this week though. I'm roasting in our apartment and drinking all sorts of white wines and roses with reckless abandon for the food pairings given that I think it registered 90 in our apartment 2 days ago!Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37542126.post-34996678549897620022007-04-23T14:37:00.000-04:002007-04-23T14:37:00.000-04:00Sounds great!

And such elegant stemware, too ;-) Yes, here in the Mid-Atlantic we are in that great "in-between season" where we can fire up the BBQ for a steak and still match it with a nice glass of red while eating outdoors. I guess we have about a month until red wines become a strictly indoor, AC-accompanied endeavor!Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993592956089104165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37542126.post-69365018151677636462007-04-23T13:21:00.000-04:002007-04-23T13:21:00.000-04:00Tell me a little about your steak risotto dish.

I love risotto as it is one of those dishes you can make to match whatever it is you are serving.winedebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891313852429967357noreply@blogger.com
