Re: Wotta risotto!

Sounds wonderful to me - but I would use a different for the cooking.

Fair enough!
Although for cooking I use a lower grade olive oil suitable for sautéeing and stir fries, etc., not extra-virgin, so it has a higher smoking temperature.

You could use just butter, too, I suppose.

Re: Wotta risotto!

Well, I made the above risotto a couple more times, and it was just as delish!


Today, I had no garlic or onions, but I did find a few onion granules in the cupboard.

I also had some 'wonky mushrooms'........bought not for their looks! (I think we should be less hung up about what fruit and veg look like, and focus more on the taste, but that's a subject for another thread!)

So I bashed the mushrooms with my bash-bash chopper thing, and turned them into mushroom mince.

Made the risotto with the rice and the mushroom mince and a few garlic granules, and then stirred in some chopped baby tomatoes that were going a bit soft, and so needed using up.

Then because I'd run out of Parmesan, I stirred in some grated mature cheddar, for flavour.

And I've just eaten it and it was yummy!



(By the way, when I started this thread, I looked for a suitable food thread to put it on, but for some reason I completely missed the Food and Drink thread! I only saw it after I'd already posted it in General Chat! Goodness knows how I missed it!
So, if the Mods want to move it, I don't mind.
Or it can stay here. I don't mind that either! )
