Since tonight is 'guilty until proven innocent' night—aka Saint Patrick's Day/Night—with sobriety roadblocks set up all over, I'll be staying at home.
I cooked up some Beer Risotto last evening. It'll be delicious tonight, pan-fried with a few dollops of olive oil.
Pasta is the go-to food for many; it's risotto for me.
My rule of thumb for risotto is 2-to-1 stock to arborio rice. I always have plenty of home-made veggie stock on hand, frozen into ice-cubes.
Add to that 3 ounces of a Vienna-style Lager per cup of rice. I used Balto MärzHon from Clipper City Brewing.

Just last night I was making a risotto and wondered if I could include beer in future efforts. Thanks for this post! I continue to enjoy your excellent blog.
Just enough beer for flavor without overpowering the stock, and in this case, the more delicate flavor of the vegetable stock. Reminds me of a humorous scene in the movie "Big Night" concerning Lobster Risotto. And, thank you for the compliment.
