Two recipes, the first made using leftover ham from Saturday's dinner, the second served with Saturday's dinner.
( Ham and 5 bean soup )
( Brown Rice Spring Vegetable Risotto )
Between the two, I've got meals galore for the week! The risotto is melt-in-my-mouth good and if it were socially acceptable, I'd use it for my bath water. The soup is a pleasing mix of saltiness (thanks to the ham) and spice (thanks to the chilis). The parmesan cheese helps to moderate both the saltiness and the spiciness.
When I make this risotto again, I'll likely halve it--it makes a HUGE amount for just two people. If I make the soup again, I might add potatoes--it feels like it could use a starch.
