There's a recipe like this in this month's delicious magazine - is that the one your were thinking of? Either way, I'd be very interested to know what pearl barley is like in a risotto - I've only ever had it in stews and would love to know there's another good use for the stuff.

I think it was delicious mag, have leant my copy out though so can't look it up

however have changed my mind anyway (as usual) and we will be having instead an oven cooked beetroot risotto with goats cheese

sure-its from delicious magazine, but I can't find it on their website, I cut it out ages ago, and figure it could do with a test run...

basically recipe is (please forgive shorthand)

500Mls stock (states veggie)
5tbsps olive oil
25g butter
2 small pink onions finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
5 small beetroot (approx 300g) peeled halved and finely sliced +tops if you have them
3 lemon thyme sprigs, leaves picked
300g arborio rice
200mls dry rose wine (hmm will prob be vermouth used)
5tbsp mascarpone (might leave this out)
100g grana padano (going to leave this out, use goats cheese crumbled instead)

Preheat oven to 200/fan 180
bring stock +350mls water to boil. heat oil in heavy casserole, fry onions and garlic until softened, add beetroot and thyme cook for 5mins stirring often.
add rice, stir until coated, incr heat add wine, boil until evaporates. Season then add all bar about 200mls stock heat until bubbles appear around sides. cover, adn cook in oven for 10mins. Stir in the rest of stock, test rice-if nearly done leave to rest for 5mins, if underdone cook for up to 5mins. stir in masc and half grana.
Serves 4. 724 kcals per serving

That time of week again! This we we are having / have had:

Friday - friends over for dinner so HM leek and potato soup with spaghetti and scrummy eggplant pasta sauce
Saturday - leftovers from week
Sunday - vegetarian bolganese pasta bake
Monday - roast veg lasagne (from freezer, made last week)
Tuesday - Butternut squash soup
Wednesday - Vegie Chili* with rice
Thursday - leftovers from week

* I've somehow managed to go my whole life without making chili! Can people give me some tips? I'd like to make it with soya mince (from dried), so do I not need to cook it as long? I will add veg (carrots and courgettes, I don't like sweet peppers) and tins of beans, and spice, should I be ok just following a normal meat recipie?

Mum is coming from Friday so will need to see how much she expects to eat out while she's here. Have nearly everything in for this week though, so should be good on GC this month for a change!

Thai Green Chicken Curry and Rice
Sausage Casserole with New Potatoes & Veg
Chicken Fajitas
Pork Chops with HM Barbecue Sauce, Corn on the Cob & New Potatoes
Prawn Curry and Rice
