What a surprising risotto! I assure you that I did not imagine that something so simple could be so tasty and so easy to prepare. You’ll need few ingredients, very basic , but very tasty , like feta cheese. And the creamy texture that gives the greek yogurt … mmm it’s delicious. Would you like to try it?
For those who do not know it , the feta cheese is typical of countries like Greece, Turkey , Romania , Bulgaria, etc. It is made from cheese curd and subsequently it is preserved in brine, hence its intense salty and sour flavor. It combines perfectly in salads with tomato, cucumber and black olives. It’s delicious. Today we can buy at a very affordable price at any dairy or supermarket. In fact, it is sell in rectangular portions and vacuum packed or in small pieces ready to take on salads, with its own juice to promote conservation.
The only downside of risottos is that we should take them immediately, because as time goes by they become more “pasty” and from one day to another it doesn’t work well. Nevertheless it is really worthy making this type of rice with the Thermomix , because the result is superb.
