Leaf-Lettuce Salad with Parmesan Crisps - Reduced-Fat Herb Vinaigrette pg.27 & Spring Risotto with Peas and Zucchini pg.70





Thanks Easter Bunny for the window herb garden and the dinner at Sauvignon (pricy French restaurant next to Meat on the Beach). The parsley has grown like crazy and we used a little in scrambled eggs already.

Lettuce Leaf Salad 3 Toasts
We didn't buy parmesan and used regianno by mistake so the crisps didn't crip. They didn't even melt, they just crumbed. Salad and dressing fair.

Risotto 4 Toasts
We used red wine from the freezer so the rice took on a purple colour. The whole time I was making it I had in my head that it should have "a bite" as Baret said. Hmm overcooked no bite but still really good.

  1. Still looks great guys! And just so you know, risotto is my fav meal ever. With the leftovers, you should make risotto balls! Take any leftovers, roll them into balls about the size of a plum, dust in flour, then egg then bread crumbs and fry until golden on all sides - serve with tomato sauce and presto, 2 meals in 1.
