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