Kudos to me!
Rissotto has always been one of those meals that seemed too hard and scary to tackle without a little help, or backup. I feel a similar sense of fear when I think about making custard from scratch or anything that involves heating sugar, though I have done both before.
It needed a bit more seasoning and the pumpkin chuncks were a little big but I think it turned out alright. As usual Eva gulped it down and the boys' wouldn;t touch it with a ten foot pole, let alone their forks.
All well. Doesn't matter.
It's not like I spent more than an hour slaving over a low heat hotplate, painstakingly absorbing stock into the rice 1/2 cup at a time or anything guys.
Inspired by this recipe by Annabel Karmel and deseparately wanting eggs I made mini Spinach and cheese quiches. We had no baby tomatoes, hence the spinach and no short crust pastry so I improvised and rolled flat crustless pieces of bread instead. (Would have used multigrain if I hadn't have used the last of it at breakfast).
Eva and I enjoyed them for lunch. The boys' took one look at them and refused to go near them.
Once again, FAIL mummy!
