(How's that for a long title?)
Loved, loved, loved the chicken breasts. Easy, beautiful, and oh so good.
The Risotto Cakes were fun to make -- a little time-consuming, but not so much that I wouldn't make them again. There is a strong Parmesan flavor, which I liked. I am looking for gluten free recipes for a friend, and this fit the bill. I would serve these cakes as a gluten-free entree for sure - they're filling and very pretty.
The Oven-Roasted Tomatoes were easy, too, and a nice way to add color to the risotto cakes. I wasn't sure if the tomatoes were supposed to be seeded (recipe says to "core and cut in half") but I did remove the seeds and think that was the way to go.
I did not make the pesto because I had a jar of pesto in the frig made by a friend who grows all his own veggies and herbs, so I used that and can't attest to the pesto recipe. I likely wouldn't have made it anyway, since I don't care for arugula, although the side note says that young arugula has a delicate flavor. I guess I've always had old arugula because it's too "hot" for me.
I am so glad you posted that about the arugula. I was noticing that it was more spicy and I thought it was my imagination ;)
