The risotto is a bit more moist, but my lady loves it this way.

    For a home cook (like myself), that’s nice. That mint chiffonade is way too chunky though, and even if she likes her risotto moist, that one is leaking, bigtime. Not sure what I would do with the pecorini, but definitely not that. At the very least, the shavings should be shavings. Use a vegetable peeler.

    I also think the lamb is just a *tad* underdone. It should be on the rare side, I think that may be a bit too rare.

    That is definitely not risotto, but it still looks pretty good .

    that is absolutely not risotto but i’m glad your girl likes it. the rice should be coated in the glossy creamy sauce, not somehow sitting on top of it. chiffonade is sloppy and the edges of the plate need wiping

    Ditch the grossly chopped mint outside the meat. Is covering it like you want to hide it

    Has anyone mentioned that the risotto is lose and weeping a tad? Winky face.

    It sounds great. How did you incorporate the aubergine into the risotto? Puree? I see some zucchini and ¿peppers?

    Lamb looks great. Mint makes sense but I think you get a much prettier herb if you find whole small leaves or tear (with yer fingers) some bigger leaves into bite size pieces. I like the look more, will drastically reduce bruising, and gives you a chance to discard any leaves with black spots (cough cough).

    Without antagonism, why did you opt for “thick shavings”? Pecorino is such a strong cheese, even thin wispy shavings are a lot for the lamb or risotto to compete with.

    Lucky lady to get such a thoughtful and effort rich Valentine’s dinner!
