"The sauce has eyes"
Just stir it, Una!ETA I have buggered the recipe up and added too much red wine. I might have to try again tomorrow.
Lol it’s all sounding a bit saucy and secretive in here all of a sudden!I do my slops when OH is in bed
Thank you I’m a disabled Frau but that was an example of me being very very lazy. She has a few long running threads over there last time I looked.@HotesTilaire it's Jack Monroe off Twitter as the title. I just searched her name on the site.
Poor you. That looks dire. And at “salty soil”. These ninny efforts are truly heroicEarthy Red Wine and Mushroom Risotto.
This recipe is brought to you from A Girl Called Jack.
First up the ingredients. I didn’t have a stock cube, I had a stock pot, yes I know fancy. 100g of mushrooms is not much at all.

However I was very excited because this recipe call for you to warm the TEASPOON of oil before placing your finely chopped garlic into it. After the welcome sizzle and quick sauté I added the chopped mushrooms, which immediately absorbed every last drop of oil and made the pan drier than a dry thing. As required I sautéed them as best I could and then added the interchangeable rice to the pan of pallidness. I then added a teaspoon of mixed herbs.

As I waited for the rice to turn translucent (ninnies this was never going to happen) I took a swig of the red wine and then made a terrible mistake. I added 125ml of wine instead of 75ml. I also added the tablespoon of purée.
View attachment 1719929I took another swig of the wine and mixed the stock pot with boiling water. Adding this as you would making any other risotto. It cooked down and eventually I decanted into bowls. I added no other seasoning as the recipe didn’t call for any.

SB wouldn’t go anywhere near it, Mr Ghent noted that it tasted of salty soil, so at least it was earthy. But it was inedible. Probably my fault for too much wine, but it was a waste of time, energy and most of all wine.
I was lucky I had a lot of the ingredients in my store cupboard, but if I’d had to buy them it would have been around £6.50. Nutritionally it’s not brilliant either.
Taste = Dire

I think I’d have preferred with white wine, onion, and some ‘hard cheese’ stirred through.
Will put my donation up separately.
Never again ninnies, never again.

Beat me to it, thank you dear one@HotesTilaire it's Jack Monroe off Twitter as the title. I just searched her name on the site.
Oh dear. That looks like it tastes AWFUL just from the combination of ingredients. And I'm going to come right out and say it...I'd bet folding money It's not you adding 50ml too much wine that has made it so bad.Earthy Red Wine and Mushroom Risotto.

If it’s off the BBC website it stands a chance of being OK, because they normally correct errors in recipes. (For example the DKL lasagne - they corrected Jack’s white sauce method, as that clearly didn’t work).Newbie to this thread. I’ve read some of the JM threads, hard to keep up with though.
This thread is brilliant! I love seeing all your attempts at her recipes.
I’m an experienced baker, I might give the microwave peanut butter brownies a go unless it’s already been done? The recipe is on bbc good food.
I’ve had to break out the omeprazole!Oh dear. That looks like it tastes AWFUL just from the combination of ingredients. And I'm going to come right out and say it...I'd bet folding money It's not you adding 50ml too much wine that has made it so bad.
