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!
