Featured DISHES

Risotto Two Ways Manhattan Beach Lodge

Risotto two ways: As a main with chicken and mushrooms and as a side or appetizer with cherry tomatoes and cheddar jack cheese.

Learning from a Michelin: Chef Casey at Manhattan found the perfect recipe for making risotto quickly and efficiently from seven-Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay and incorporates the style in all of his risotto dishes.

Rice: Chef Casey uses a dry Arborio rice, which is slightly smaller and will produce a soft, comforting risotto.

Throw in anything (everything): While the featured dishes are delicious in their own right, anything a person likes can be thrown into a risotto. “Any flavors you enjoy in any other dish can be put into a risotto. It’s limitless what you can do with risotto,” said chef Casey. Get outside: Construction has begun to expand and enhance the patio and outdoor dining at Manhattan Beach Lodge. Go around sunset for one of the more romantic dining experiences in the lakes area as the sun sets over Big Trout Lake.
