What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Sucky still sulking after his Christmas massacre.

 

Bro its rice innit.

 

Got a beef stew on myself, beef diced, carrots, onion, parsnip and swede.

Its not rice like but itll do.

 

It won't, I've done this before!!

Unless I do something daft like have too many beers watching United lose.

 

****ing heathen.

 

So not much food tonight, and brb banned some bird with massive norks.

the place is going downhill.

 

Roasted butternut squash and pea risotto.

White wine on the side, no ice.

Rate away!

 

Looks pretty good Chief, I'd eat it. Some might not like me praising it but hey bro, good food is good food.

 

Looks good that mate.

 

Nice pans mate, da best..

So now you have fed the budgie, what are you guise eating?

 

A second helping!

It's bloody lush.

 

Looks nice. Small portion. Is luv round at your’s?

 

Deliberately used a small dish for Luv effect.

Reality is, I ate another portion as big.

 

My thoughts too

 

Nice, love a nice risotto, what rice did you use, Arborio or Carnaroli?

 

KFC for us guise.. have to give the chips and **** a miss but these breasts... yum yum..

 

Here's how it's done;


Make a sofrito of one celery stick, finely diced, one shallot, finely diced and four cloves of garlic, finely chopped.

Sweat for 15 mins in a chunk of unsalted butter until properly soft then add 250g of arborio rice.

Once rice is a translucent look, add a large glass of dry white wine (or vermouth).

While this simmering down, you'll have a pan of good stock (mine was Turkey stock from Christmas) simmering away.

Once wine cooked off, start adding ladle fulls of stock. Slowly.

Should now take 16 mins to use up your stock and have the rice at the bite. At 16 mins, with no stock left (if you've run out use hot water) take off the heat, stir in your parmesan and any veg or meat you're using (butternut and peas in my case) , put on a lid, and leave to sit while you pour a glass of wine and get your (garlic) bread ready.

Serve with some more parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley.

Awesome food, serves two as a meal or four as a starter.
