I like mushroom risotto. Actually, I like mushrooms, full stop.

My OH made mushroom stroganoff from the 5:2 diet book and it was lovely

Really wanted tuna risotto today but can't find a recipe that doesn't involve something we don't have, either white wine or onion! :mad:

A recipe is only a basis for cooking a dish you fancy. You can always adapt, leave things out, add extras, and improve them. I wouldn't expect wine in a risotto anyway, just the appropriate stock.

The only time you need to worry about quantities being accurate is when you are baking, as it is more akin to chemistry. Otherwise, use recipes as a guideline.

Lets_say

Google Delia Smith's oven baked mushroom risotto, dead easy, no standing over the pan stirring.

The seafood risotto was lovely, shame tesco don't have it anymore!

Added green beans, broccoli, onion (found some in the freezer) sweet corn and a tin of tuna to it

Gosh Tink, you really do add Tuna to everything!!


I hope you buy the good, line caught stuff - or you will be responsible for destroying gazillions of dolphins every year...?
