oh i love this risotto!! its creaminess will blend well with this type of fish :-)im not so familiar with zander but i could probably replace it with other type of white fish?
Yeah, you can replace it with any other type of white fish you like. :o)
The last time I had Zander was in France and it was my birthday dinner. I had Foie Gras to start and vodka icecream for dessert. Wish I could do it all again. The fish was particularly succulent.
Mmm that sounds exquisite.
