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 (butter nut and peas in my case) 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.

Looks nice for rice and peas :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
Well I’ve had nachos two ways so far. Canapé of nachos with cream cheese and sweet chilli sauce. Starter of hot nachos with refried beans, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Main is Aberdeen Angus burger with a corn on the cob. Had to make my own burger sauce too. Gerkins, capers, mayo, ketchup, white wine vinegar, Dijon, sliced pickled onion, salt an pepper.

I made a chicken stir fry and put too much fresh chilli in it. Sweating.

Tomorrow could be a long day.

No ice in your wine and your risotto is missing sweetcorn.
