Creamy Leek Risotto

"Some think that Risotto is just too much trouble, but when you have guests that are in the kitchen drinking wine, and keeping you company it really isn't that bad. This is my stand-by risotto, we usually serve with fresh grilled steelhead. I got this from my friend Stephanie don't know where she got it from."

  1. I agree elegant but I think mine was extraordinary due to my homemade chicken broth.
     
  2. Elegant and very good. I'm really pleased to be the first to review. We cut the recipe in half and it made two big servings.

I live on an island in Puget Sound with my DH, and young son. I have been trying to really deal in the slow food revolution. No more manufactured products, just food. It has been a bit of a challenge but has produced some good stuff. Hope I can keep it up.
