Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
Quite nice, actually. DB thought it was too sour and missed the sweetness that is typical for red peppers, would have liked to taste the garlic a bit more, and thought it lacked the rich creaminess the Pumpkin Risotto with Sage and Parmesan possessed. I'm a bit wary of the risotto being much sweeter, as there is little that could counteract it (like the parmesan does in the above mentioned recipe), but I guess using real tomatoes instead of canned ones would take away some of the sourness. And other than that, as I said, I thought it was quite nice for a normal weekday dinner.
We didn't use 1 1/2 cans of tomatoes (what a silly idea!) but only one, which worked perfectly, and 400g risotto rice instead of 450g (again, 400g was one package, why use more than that?), with 1,5 l stock. We didn't grill the peppers and didn't have any problems with the skin, though I could imagine that grilling them adds a desirable smokey flavour. I was considering adding a little sweet pepper (powder), or alternatively some herbs (thyme, maybe?).
