Ham and Cheese toasties!!! I am having a really slack week. I have been putting all my energy into my veggie garden so I don't have a whole lot left over to worry about food
Tonights meal is made when we have NOTHING left in the cupboard bar staples, I use rehydrated mushrooms, frozen peas and all I need to get is the bacon which I get from my local. Tonight we are having bacon, dried french champignons & pea risotto. I got some really nommy dried champignons (from france - nothing like the tinned ones *blerk*) from my gf's deli and I soaked them and rehydrated them till they were plush. Added the liquor to my stock which was made form mushroom stock, chicken stock and chicken consomme. I used real italian risotto rice (YUM). Added some white wine. I got my local to cut me some 1 cm thick pieces of bacon and diced it into 1cm cubes. Fried up the bacon, set it aside, added the onion & garlic, then once cooked added the rice, then some wine and then my stock, eventually added the mushrooms & peas, then the bacon and some truffle oil. And for some extra decadence I added a tablespoon of sour cream at the end. Its WOW on flavour. And I'm going to wash it down with a nice penfolds shiraz cabernet that was co created with Mr Tetsuya (would famous sydney restauranteur)... its YUMMMO!
I'm in food heaven tonight!
OMNOMONOMONOM...
But I do have some sad news food related which I will post later *sniff*
Well, I'm undecided re tonight's dinner. We might have morrocan chickpeas with feta and couscous or we might have homemade pizza. Can't decide which but at present I'm leaning towards pizza with red onion, capsicum, ham, sweet potato and homemade tomato sauce.
