I make a good risotto too
and pizzas. And a cracking Sunday roast

my fellow gourmand Stacey and I came up with a beautiful blend of roast dinner and risotto
roast loin of pork with a butternut squash and sage risotto with shards of crackling through it. Served with hot mustard and apple sauce. It was so good. I can still imagine the taste now.

I'm going to be doing chicken breasts
stuffed with buffalo mozzarella, chilli flakes and thyme, and rolled in proscuitto. A quick fry then roast in the oven.

Served with cubed potato, boiled then fried with garlic and rosemary.

Every time I have cous cous it is a disappointment
Must try harder, cous cous.

I also have polenta which I'm going to try soft with loads of butter and cheese, and also hard, cooled and griddled.

it's all about what you put in it
roasted veg is good, with lemon zest, some crispy bacon, maybe some toasted pine nuts.

polenta is a bit hit and miss. I tried to make a dessert with it by having it hard, sprinkled with icing sugar and fried then served with some ice cream and a drizzle of some kind of sweet sauce. Didn't work too well, but I think that was down to the cooking not working quite right. Would've been better deep fried.

Hmm
Not thought about that. I first had it soft in a mushroom and red wine soup recipe that I made ages ago. It was fucking wonderful!

Go and buy some nice ingredients and make something interesting to eat
Corn-fed chicken legs, corn on the cob and broccoli this evening I think

OK
what should I make? (bear in mind I have a very limited attention span with cooking)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:26, Reply)

Name three nice ingredients you like to eat

ermmm
*gives up* this is too hard
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:29, Reply)

How about:
Strips of beef dusted in flour, sitr fried with peppers and spring onions? Bit of soy sauce, bit of honey, bit of chilli?

Serve with boiled rice - 5 mins to prepare and 15 tops to cook from start to finish

*takes a potato peeler to a cow*
i reckon I could handle that.

(genuine question: can you actually buy strips of beef - I've not ever bought much meat other than bacon)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:34, Reply)

You can buy pre-cut meat, yes
Not sure about strips though but you could buy a cheap cut for about £2 for this
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:35, Reply)

skirt is probably a good cut to use
if you really don't cook it long

this has suddenly got more complicated

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:38, Reply)

Just go in and buy some beef!

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:38, Reply)

yeah

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:38, Reply)

Um, OK
off i go, right now, to buy food and not get distracted by things. Yup, this is going well
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:39, Reply)

you can, but I wouldn't bother because it'll be cheap shit
use sirloin, cut it really thin and cook it hot and not for very long.
