A savory twist on a classic rice pud!

I love the creaminess of rice pudding, I also love the fact that it is not so overly sweet as I am not a fan of sweet desserts, maybe with the exception of Malva Pudding, so when I saw rice pudding on the menu at Sidewalk Cafe, I was a happy camper, until my daughter pointed out to me that it was …….
indeed a savory rice pudding, in other words risotto which is also one of my all time favorite meals. At first I was somewhat confused  at the thought of a savory rice pudding, but the idea grew on me and when the dish finally arrived, I was so ready to tug in…..
I was in love, every bite was just so delicious with all the different textures from the sun-dried tomatoes and the toasted nuts and in between mouthfuls of the creamy risotto…heaven on a plate! I

Humble ingredients ......

This time of year, I want winter-warming recipes, recipes that stick to my ribs and warm me up from the inside. A creamy risotto does just that. I think it is so awesome  that three such simple ingredients can be changed in something so delicious and creamy ….rice, cheese and stock! I had only a few ingredients in my fridge because I was away all week and have not done my shopping. Come and see how I made an amazing supper with such humble ingredients…….
We are also in the tight grip of a June exam, so my afternoons are hectic with trying to study with Miss Muffet. So yesterday morning, while I still had time, I roasted my garlic, butternut and 3 cobs of corn, so at least I needed only 30 minutes before supper to whip up a risotto. I know that I am an advocate for  a cop-out oven risotto, but somehow yesterday, I needed the stand-and-stir-therapy.
