All you need is:  
Puff sheets
Tomato Puree
Ham
Cheese

Roll out the puff, pinch in the edges, and the spread the puree thinly over the base





Layer a bit of cheese on top of the Puree


The throw some ham over that, then more chefs, them more ham




then it goes in the oven

If you want it to be more exciting, you could replace my simple cheddar, with a few different types of cheese.

Chicken & Mushroom Risotto

Here's my first recipe for the blog! Im making a quick early supper before we head out for some drinks this evening:


Ingredients (all per person)

125g fresh mushrooms, quartered
1 piece skinless chicken breast (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
300ml chicken stock
75g  arborio rice
50ml white wine
1/2 chopped onion
sprinkle grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
oil
salt & pepper to season


First Chop the onion: (I do this in my little whiz Cuisinart machine because its super quick & easy) then fry it in your non stick pan / wok.


Then chop the rest of the ingredients: Mushrooms, chicken (& some parsley if youd like).

 
 

Then simply combine all ingredients in your pan, and add a small amount of Chicken stock.

This next bit is the most important: your risotto must NEVER get stuck, and never have too much liquid in it, add this a little at a time.
 


Add a small amount of Parmesan


And the most important ingredient; White wine (make sure its a good one).


Test every now and again to see if the rice has softened.

Once ready for consumption (rice has mostly softened but is still a little solid)season with salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of parmesan, then serve with a cold glass of white wine or Prosecco if you'd prefer - I would!

 
  
 Its a simple and quick meal that will only take about 40 mins total, amd most of that is standing and watching ( i have myself a glass of wine or prosecco during this stage).

Enjoy :)
