EXOTIC MUSHROOM RISOTTO


EXOTIC MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Approx 1 litre of stock (I used mushroom stock, but you can use vegetable or chicken)
2 tablespoons olive oil
a knob of butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, grated finely
2 cups of risotto rice (Arborio)
150 millilitres dry white wine
salt and pepper
70 grams butter
115 grams finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups of fresh or rehydrated exotic mushrooms
Fresh parsley chopped

Heat the stock in a large pot and keep on the boil. Put the olive oil & butter into a separate pan, add the garlic and onion and cook very slow for about 10 min with colouring. When the onion is soft add the rice and turn up the heat.
The rice will begin to lightly fry so keep stirring it with wooden spoon. After a minute it will start looking translucent. Add the wine and keep stirring. Any alcohol flavours will evaporate at this point leaving the rice with a tasty essence.
Once the wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of boiling stock and a good pinch of salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesn’t cook too quickly on the outside. Keep adding ladlefuls of boiling stock while stirring and massaging the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing the stock each time to be absorbed in the rice before adding the next. This will take around 20min. Taste the rice to check if it’s cooked. If not carry on adding stock until the rice is cooked but with a slight bite (al dente). If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add boiling water.
Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan and parsley . Stir well. Place the lid on pot and let it sit for 2 min before dishing it up.
Drain the mushrooms after chopping into smaller strips and fry in a bit of olive oil and butter until done. Serve on top of the risotto.

SAVOURY GAMMON AND SALSA CRUMPETS WITH FRESHLY COOKED ORGANIC SPINACH AND 2 × CHEESE FILLING:


SAVOURY GAMMON AND SALSA CRUMPETS WITH FRESHLY COOKED ORGANIC SPINACH AND 2 × CHEESE FILLING:
4 std size eggs
1.5 cups flour
1 cup full cream milk
1 cup grated Gammon (leftover from Sunday lunch)
grated Cheddar cheese
chunky cottage cheese
Salsa (Hedgehog Hill)
Italian herb seasoning

Add grated Gammon to beaten eggs.
Add milk and sifted flour also into mixture (which should have the consistency of a crumpets mix).
Heat oil in pan and make several crumpets from mix.
Lightly spread Salsa on hot crumpets as they come out of pan – will be absorbed.
Lightly spread chunky cottage cheese on each crumpet.
Layer a dessert spoonful of Spinach (cooked in sauteed onions) on one crumpet, then some grated cheddar cheese and cover with another Salsa and cottage cheese spread crumpet (like a sandwich).

Pour a glass of crisp white wine & enjoy!!!

Note: no extra salt or seasoning is necessary in recipe. There’s enough in the Gammon & Salsa.

Fred & I each had 2 portions for lunch today! Totally filling!

I guess one could use alternative ingredients to the Gammon and Spinach to be creative, but I just LOVE this twist on the standard Crumpet recipe!

EIER, KAAS EN TAMATIE GEBAK


EIER, KAAS EN TAMATIE GEBAK
Die hoeveelhede is volgens die hoeveelheid brood wat ek gebruik het. Dit kan egter na willekeur volgens jou behoefte gewysig word.
5 eiers
10 snye brood (of soveel as wat jy in jou bak kan inpas)
½ koppie melk
2 tamaties in skywe gesny
4 stroke bacon (of meer)
1 koppie gerasperde Cheddarkaas (of meer)
gladde maaskaas of roomkaas
Dijon mosterd
Sout en peper na smaak

Smeer 5 snye brood met botter en rangskik dit op die bodem van ‘n oondbak met die botter kante na onder. Breek van die snye om die bodem mooi vol te pak soos ‘n legkaart. Sny die baconstroke in die helfte deur en braai dit liggies tot dit net gaar is. Smeer ‘n lagie mosterd oor die snye brood in die bak en volg dit op met ‘n dik laag maaskaas of roomkaas. Rangskik die bacon oor die brood en strooi ‘n lagie gerasperde kaas bo-oor. Plaas die orige snye brood bo-oor om dit te bedek en rangskik die tamatieskywe daaroor. Klits die eiers en melk saam, geur met sout en peper. Giet dit oor die inhoud van die bak. Strooi ‘n dik laag gerasperde kaas bo-oor en laat dit so staan om te week, totdat die oond, wat jy nou aanskakel, 180ºC bereik. Bak vir 20 minute en verhoog dan die hitte na 200ºC. Bak nog ‘n rukkie tot die gereg op pof en effens bruin word. Ongeveer 10 minute, maar hou maar dop.
