We began the day with some wine and delicious bruschetta and a tossed green salad. The first course was followed by two types of risotto: ragu risotto and radicchio risotto. The final course was Italian cookies and espresso coffee. Wow, what a meal! I loved the bruschetta, with big chunks of fresh tomato and green olives. The ragu risotto was my favorite risotto, a mixture of beef and pork in a tomato sauce, blended into the risotto. After lunch, Fabrizio and chef Rita (speaking in Italian only, with Fabrizio translating), prepared risotto for us, with several Newcomers helping out.
Newcomers offers events for everyone. This event was just another great day spent with amazing men and women. It was so much fun sitting at small tables, enjoying an Italian lunch, and getting to know new members. Will I ever make risotto at home? Probably not. Ron doesn't even like risotto, so why would I bother with something so time consuming? I would, however, make the ragu sauce (easy to do), and pour it over a plate of steaming pasta. Delicioso!
