As my regular reader will know, we eat a lot of risotto, but curiously I haven’t made one for ages. We roasted a duck over the Easter weekend, and when I boiled up the carcass for stock, quite a lot of meat came off. Meals for the next few days had been sort of planned,…

fusion risotto
using up: cold roast duck, 1/4 tin coconut milk Now, this really was quite barking, and I wasn’t at all sure it would work, but nothing ventured, etc. As I said, there was more duck left on the carcass than we thought, so risotto seemed appropriate. Basic rule of risotto in this house is 5…
