Meatballs and polenta

Meatballs and polenta
This is actually a repost with a new picture of the meatballs Elke does and we (including little Matteo like a lot). We just had them with polenta instead of boiled poattoes ... lovely!

Risotto Nero with King Prawns

Risotto with Apple and Black Pudding
This is a recipe we did sometime ago and we fell in love with. It is not very different from another risotto nero I made with squid .... but this time the combination is more spicy and powerful due to the prawns.
It is not an easy one and it might take more than indicated the very first time. But it is worth! If you try it, consider preparing more prawns an keeping them at hand ....

Risotto with Apple and Black Pudding

Risotto with Apple and Black Pudding
I have only two regret for this dish we just finished to eat. One, it is finished. Two, I did it after Christmas. Why the latter? This is a great dish perfectly suited for the Christmas celebrations!

Honestly, I made this out of instinct and despite my hate for cooked apples. The result is simply stunning. A delicate savory dish, where the few ingredients combine perfectly. Mmmmmm .....
