Roasted Shallot Risotto

For me, risotto is a very romantic dish, which is why I made it for our anniversary last week. Not a lot of ingredients are necessary to make a great risotto- this included lots of roasted shallots, homemade chicken broth, thyme, a few peas, and a generous amount of grated parm and a splash of Tibvrtini Novello Extra Virgene once it was off the heat.

For more on my classic risotto technique, see the post here, this version definitely had more ingredients in it, but simple is just as good, really.

Sadly, that was the last of my chicken stock. Time to roast a few chickens to make more, I reckon...
