We decided to make a paella inspired risotto since we were looking to incorporate shrimp, one of the few meat options that was acceptable to everyone coming.
To make it we first heated some oil in a pot with saffron, chili powder, paprika, onion and garlic and added Arborio rice to get it lightly toasted. We then slowly added watered down vegetable broth eventually with some peas, cherry tomatoes and the shrimp (unfortunately only precooked is available at Weshop), until all the broth had been added and the rice became soft and gooey. The box told us that this would take around 15 minutes total, which we knew was a lie. What we didn't expect is that it would actually take around an hour.
As an appetizer Xiaoxi made some turkey empanadas, and for dessert we began to work on the Zgougou I made last night. But there's plenty left, so its not too late and come have some for yourself!
