  • Giant Puffball Risotto

    This is what happens when you find one and have to improvise, but it tasted soooo nice I thought I'd share:

    ~150g Giant Puffball, sliced
    splash olive oil for frying
    2 x small red onions
    1 x medium sized carrot
    Handful of frozen veg (peas, broad beans, french beans)
    ~1tbsp fresh thyme
    ~1tbsp dried coriander
    ~1tsp ground black pepper
    1x oxo chicken stock cube
    ~200ml double cream
    sea salt to taste
    ~2 medium sized cups of white basmati rice (yes, I know it should be risotto, but it was improvisation, remember!!)

    Start to boil water for rice, then whilst cooking:

    Chop onion and carrot and cook in wok for ~5 mins with olive oil
    Add the frozen veg and herbs, plus black pepper and a shake of sea salt.
    Add the puffball slices, then sprinkle over the chicken stock cube and stir.

    Wait for the puffball slices to reduce and go 'slimy', then add the drained, cooked rice and stir through. Add cream and stir through to heat, then serve!

    I think I included everything!

    Not really exactly a risotto if the rice is cooked separately, but sounds tasty for all that!
    I made paella with long-grain rice last week, having run out of the proper sort (my paella is rather an 'enthusiasm' recipe anyway). Tasted good.

      I was flying by the seat of my pants, Hilary, lol! Never even occurred to me at the time to put the rice in with it - I was too hungry to think and look in cookbooks!

        Yeah, I prefer 'see how it goes' cooking. A few 'rules' but mainly 'make it up as you go along' tastes better<g>
