Risotto! All that careful ladling of stock bit by bit for hours just to end up with some ok flavoured rice

Do it in the oven! Risotto al forno is a game changer...

Pineapple's easy when you know how. Just slice off the bottom then with a sharp knife then finely remove the outer skin, leaving the brown pocks behind. With the knife and following the circular sweep of each line of pocks, remove them in little slices. It makes such a pretty pattern with leaves at the.top. slice at the table and serve with really good vanilla ice cream and/or raspberry sorbet.

Will try to find a picture.

You still end up with a one dimensional dish which to me is just a side dish 🤷🏻‍♀️

Surely it depends on what is in it? I'm not a big risotto fan but a seafood or sausage or asparagus risotto is not really a side dish!

That "implement" takes a minute and wastes nothing.
