i love making "whole chicken risotto"...
first take one chicken, roast with nice veggies, eat.
excarnate carcass, reserve meat, make stock from carcass and veggies.
make risotto with stock, add flesh, eat.
don't forget the parmesan, olive oil and pepper at the end...

wish you'd told me that *before* I'd thrown out the chicken bones! My parents would have loved that.

Oh well - back to the mushroom, leek and mint standby.
