I will gladly share the love, AJP. I have the recipe on my personal blog. Can I post a link to it? Otherwise I can copy and paste it (but then there won't be any yummy progress pictures!).
Tonight is Cauli Rice Risotto, made with Chicken, Bacon, sliced asparagus and mushies
Nomnoms. I'm supposed to be baking easter egg cookies atm but I'm slothing instead. Had a big cleaning day and just feel like resting. So I might make those for dessert.
But I also might light a fire and have smores for dessert instead... decisions decisions.
The above is the original recipe. Here are my notes and substitutions:
I substitute the bacon with 2 or 3 chorizo sausages. Cut each sausage lengthways into quarters and then slice them (so you end up with small bits). Fry the sausage, but reserve the fat that boils out of them (yes, I know, very cardiac-friendly!). Pour this fat onto the onions before you start frying them as it adds some great flavour to the dish.
The reason why I leave out the pine-nuts is that because of DH's mild tree-nut allergy I can't have any nuts during pregnancy. Trust me, you need the pine-nuts!! I can't wait until I can make it with them again!
Also, to save a bit of money, I use regular dried mushies from the Asian section in Coles instead of the Porcini mushrooms that are worth their weight in gold. I think they are just fine
So let me know how you go and if you have any questions, AJP. Enjoy x
Last night I made the most delicious cottage pie, cooked using beef, cauliflower, mushrooms, celery, onions, mashed potato topping... My signature dish
