My thoughts:
We had the unthinkable travel on final weekend. We picked crabs in addition to nosotros had some crabs leftover. We assay to piece of work only plenty but they were then meaty (a skillful work to have!) that nosotros couldn't complete them then nosotros only picked the leftovers in addition to saved the crabmeat for later. I didn't know what to create alongside it at start but I saw nosotros had some Cajun Belle peppers (they await similar regular bell peppers but smaller in addition to spicy) ripe inwards the garden in addition to some squeeze inwards the refrigerator in addition to I idea I'd brand a summery, spicy risotto.

Pattypan squeeze e'er boom me every bit an underrecognized sign of summer. I tin dismiss piece of work zucchini in addition to xanthous squeeze (sadly, non crookneck) year-round but it is exclusively inwards the summertime I tin dismiss honour pattypan. Not exclusively does it choose a fun shape, it seems a lilliputian less watery (to me, anyway) in addition to to a greater extent than sturdy than zucchini. It is perfect for risotto! It kept the perfect texture fifty-fifty throughout all of the stirring in addition to rice cooking.

I was extremely pleased alongside how it turned out, naught overpowered the crab in addition to at that spot were large meaty chunks throughout. I sort of desire to piece of work to a greater extent than crabs in addition to promise for leftovers!
