I don't have an exact recipe for it.
Basically, I prepare some veg stock and add the juice and zest of an orange to it. Fry an onion and 2 carrots until softened. Add about 150g rice. Fry until translucent. Add a splash of wine or a mix of cyder vinegar & water. Add the stock a ladle at a time, following a normal risotto method. Add a couple of handfuls of spinach just a couple of minutes before the end of cooking. Stir in grated cheddar or cream cheese at the end if you fancy. Delish .

Thanks for starting us off, ditsykitchen.

This week I've got:

Friday - takeaway pizza (my local pizza place keeps sending me really good special offers, so what I am meant to do? )
Saturday - spicy chicken salad wraps
Sunday - chorizo sausages with aubergine gratin (made with - fanfare please - home-grown aubergines! :j Sorry for the excitement, but this is the first time I've managed to grow more than one aubergine!)
Monday - Thai veg and smoked tofu noodles
Tuesday - salami and bean chilli
Wednesday - cheese and onion batter pudding with baked beans and grilled tomatoes
Thursday - speedy meatball stew (except I'll make my own meatballs rather than buying them)

Do you smoke the tofu yourself or if not where do you get it from? I have only tried making it once and it didn't go that well.

This is the plan. Days could very well get swopped around, but this is based on what I have in store.
S Chicken and chorizo pies with roasted peppers and tomatoes and possibly potatoes (This changed to courgette, chorizo and mozzerella pasta.)
S Something with courgettes - I'm looking for recipes. (This changed to a BBQ with stuff from the freezer as the weather was good. I do still have two courgettes to use up.)
M Pasta with smoked salmon and cream
T Fish with roasted veg
W Chinese with sister
Th King Prawn Madras
F Left over King Prawn Madras
