Porterhouse, especially @ Peter Luger's... I broke my 3 yr vegetarianism there a number of years ago and never looked back :)

maybe a chicken pot or shepards pie - you can either do them with puff pastry or a mashed potato crust?... i also tend to like ratatouille on my mashed potatoes with a little bit of ricotta on top.

Dipping Sauce for Grilled Shrimp

I think I romesco sauce works really well:

For the romesco:
1/2 medium tomato
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 slices crusty bread (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup whole raw almonds
1 (7.25-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the shrimp:
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
For the romesco: Heat oven to 450°F and arrange rack in middle.
Arrange tomato, garlic, bread, and almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until bread and almonds are lightly toasted, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer ingredients to a food processor or blender, and pulse to coarsely chop. Add roasted peppers, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and paprika and pulse again until well combined and relatively smooth.

Smoked gouda, spinach, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes... yum. I gained 5 lbs once just for eating this almost every week.

Rehydrate some porcinis and/or morels and add them. Yowza. A good potent wine (like vermouth) is a must. Ample salt - tasty stock. Cheese is a must both for aroma, mouthfeel and of course flavor.

I love risotto. It's the only rice I know how to make.

You all are awesome!!
Thanks so much for the suggestions -- given me lots of ideas to spruce up my risotto!

Consider adding a drop of balsamic....when it comes to pairing, goat cheese and balsamic are fantastic and the acidic addition will help cut the richness. Good Luck....We're pulling for you!

Truffle oil (added last minute, perhaps at the table)

Marsala wine

Nutmeg

My whimsical, "peas & carrots" risotto is a winner. Substitute up to 25% (1 cup) strained fresh-squeezed baby carrot juice for stock, and add frozen green peas at the end.

What should I add to make my risotto spectacular??

shitaki mushrooms & caramelized onion - make a stock from the stems .... use the stock for your rice.

caramelize your onions - when done, add mushrooms set aside, season well, you can add some fresh sage, or rosemary if you like.

in your rice pot, saute onion & garlic in lots of butter and olive oil, add the rice, saute - proceed with stock....when the rice is just about done add in the mush/onions/regianno or cheese....

Been in Colorado since '91, miss the Millridge Inn on Long Island and the Sirloin Tips in sauce. Don't need a knife...bit size morsels of tenderness!
