The sauce was yummy - but would be better on a seasoned grilled chicken breast. The risotto - - well, since I couldn't find ANYTHING remotely similar to this at my store, I bought a garden vegetable rice package which was just one of those open-and-heat things. It was pretty tasteless. I'm sure the Risotto would be much better, so next time I'll see about making it from scratch myself. Let's face it - I'm not a big fish eater, but have been looking for recipes which we might enjoy to get more fish into our diet. Wild-caught fish is very hard to find here, even in frozen food (we're in the middle of the country in the desert and I'm just picky enough that I don't bother buying farm-raised anything.
