Thai Green Curry Risotto, Revisited.

What better way to break in a brand-new pot than to cook one of your favourite dishes in it? I've made this fusion of Italian risotto and Thai green curry before click here for the recipe), and it has been a while since I made either risotto or this variation.

The results weren't as creamy as the last time I made it (The culprit was a fairly unremarkable can of coconut milk instead of the one I usually use), but it was still delicious, and the new pot is the perfect vessel for making risotto; heavy bottomed, even heat distribution, and plenty of surface area for the rice to toast, and to coax out its starches as the liquid evaporates.

However, rarely do I attempt to combine things from two different food cultures -- I'm still learning, but once in a while a bit of experimenting is good. So today's dish combines two of my favourite dishes: Thai Green Curry and Italian Risotto. I'm certainly not the first person to make this dish -- there are dozens of recipes online for the same -- but I did go into it with a bit of trepidation. The results turned out pretty damn delicious, so here's my recipe.
