I’m on a roll now with risotto….unintentionally. I had planned on cooking an oyster dish this weekend which I had spotted in Ruth Reichl’s book Comfort Me with Apples. ( If you haven’t read anything yet by Reichl I would recommend heading over to Amazon now and start with Tender at the Bone). I have never eaten oysters before, neither has my other half, and this particular recipe was for Curried Oysters with Cucumber Sauce and Salmon Roe. A bizarre combination I initially thought but it sounded so tempting I decided it was the perfect meal to end the perfect weekend.
Sadly nowhere in Crouch End was selling oysters last Sunday evening so we had no choice but to hold off on the fish and save for another weekend. Instead we would give my second dinner option ago – Griddled Radicchio and Strawberry risotto by Maria Ella which was featured in The Guardian Weekend’s July 16 2011 issue. This recipe is beautiful both in taste and appearance.
