Risotto with Carrot and Feta

Risotto with Carrots and Feta
Serves 4, adapted from Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home

Ingredients

5 cups vegetable broth
4 large carrots, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 tbsp fresh dill
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup feta, crumbled
2 tbsp parsley, chopped

Instructions

Bring the stock to a boil in a covered pot. Put the carrots in the stock, lower the heat and very gently simmer.
In a large wok or saucepan, heat the olive oil and saute the onions until softened but not brown. Carefully add the rice and stir gently until the grains are thoroughly coated with oil.
Add the dill. Ladle 1 cup of the carrot stock (with carrots included!) into the saucepan with the rice and stir. When it is absorbed, ladle in another cup's worth. Keep stirring in the stock and carrots like this until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender but al dente (20-30 minutes).
When the risotto is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, feta and parsley. Serve immediately.

I found this great recipe on tumblr ;p

Susahnyer sekolah rendah.....

Tahap pendidikan budak2 sekarang berbeza dengan zaman aku sekolah dulu. Serius aku respect giler macam maner budak sekolah rendah boleh catch up subject yang susah2 contohnyer anak aku yang darjah 2 setanding dengan level budak darjah 6 masa tahun 90 an dulu. Dulu cuma ader bahasa melayu. english. math, agama dengan muzik, itupun silibus KBSR yang mudah. Sekarang KSSR plus sains dan arab. Sampai aku pun kekadang tak boleh nak tolong selesaikan homework dia walaupun aku dah menjejak 'U' sekalipun. Kalau tak kerana buat research kt Internet memang aku confuse nk menyelesaikannya, dah rasa macam aku yang pergi sekolah pasal kena study balik dengan benda baru yang aku sikit pun tak pernah belajar benda alah 'Diftong ngan 'Digraf'.. agaknyer kalau aku msok rancangan tv 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader' awal2 lagi dah kena tendang kluar.. buat malu jer...

Subject yang paling menjadi isu adalah Bahasa Arab. Masa aku sekolah dulu maner ader bahasa arab kecuali dekat sekolah agama. Itupun sikit. Tak sama langsung dengan Arab kat sekolah kebangsaan. Yang aku tahu 'ana' 'ante'... heheh... Problem betul bila anak aku ader homework bahasa arab. Sepatah haram pun aku tak paham. Tambah2 buku tesk arab memang takda langsung translate dalam bahasa melayu. Nak buat research kat internet memang tak dapek la. Kot laptop keybord aku dlm jawi kan? Aku memang sokong bila kerajaan tambah subject arab disekolah. Tapi yang menjadi masalah besar adalah 98% ibubapa di negara kita nie tak tahu arab. Macam maner nak Explain kt anak2 bila dwang tanya penggunaan 'haza' dan 'hazihi' dalam sesuatu ayat contohnyer. Aku dah rasa macam buat I.Q test bila menjawab soalan arab kat anak aku . Yelah.... kira mengagak jawapan dan 'rasa2 betul' kot tanpa memahami pembelajaran sebenar. Dalam kata lain 'HENTAM'. Dilema sungguh bila mengajar anak dirumah dalam soal pembelajaran disekolah. Yang paling best cikgu2 sekarang dah macam kt 'U' masok kelas talk2 sikit kat budak2 nie then terus bagi assignment. Lepas tuu bila bagi homework bukan sikit, semua taknak kalah sampai 5-10 mukasurat selalunya. Pernah sekali ustaz bagi homework sampai 24 mukasurat utk disiapkan selama 5 hari, belum lagi tambah dengan homework math. Rasa cam aku naik giler kelam kabut memaksa bebudak nie siapkan homework cepat. Sekarang aku terpaksa study semua buku anak2 aku supaya takderlah aku terkial carik jawapan dalam teks book. Cuma bahasa arab sahaja aku suruh dia menghafal selagi boleh! kiranya pembelajaran yang kurang bagus 'menghafal tanpa memahami'....
