This NYT recipe was a suggestions from my dad and was easy to prepare and make. I chopped the onion, garlic and fennel during the day, so when it came time to make (and stir) the risotto, it was pretty easy and only took about 25 minutes.
While it requires you stay by the stove for those 25 minutes, its very straightforward.
The verdict?
Sofia: Thumbs up - she ate the whole bowl.
Jack: Did not love it, but had a few bites (about 1/2 his serving)
Liam: Did not even entertain the idea of trying it. (photo to the right is Liam telling me for the 25th time that he did not want to try it "no, don't want to")
Sofia and Jack got stickers on their "Try Something New" board and Liam was a little mad he did not get a sticker, but not mad enough to try it.
I would definitely add risotto to the repertoire, especially since it can be changed up so easily. I think I'd get jack to eat more if it was with something that was not quite as strong as smoked trout.
