Jamie Oliver “Oozy Mushroom Risotto”

This recipe is simply amazing!!  It is by far one of the best mushroom risottos I have ever tasted – and I have eaten a lot of risottos when dining out.  The flavours are delicious and if you can incorporate some different mushrooms (pending on seasonal availability etc), then you can enhance the dish further.  In addition, the crispy mushrooms to place on top at the end really make the meal complete!
This is from the 30 minute meal book by Jamie Oliver, however I would recommend giving yourself at least an hour to make this dish, especially if you’re cooking it on your own and don’t have the assistance of your partner to help mix the risotto and prepare ingredients.
Definitely a favourite in our house though!

I’ve found a version of the recipe on the Jamie Oliver website – looks like there’s some slight differences in wording but otherwise it looks the same!

Fish Fillet with Lemon, Dill and Caper Sauce

This recipe was absolutely amazing!  I felt like fresh fish for dinner and thought that a dill and caper sauce would be perfect.  I quick look through the Taste.com website and I found this one.  I used Nile Perch which didn’t have an overpowering flavour and was complimented well by the sauce.

Squid & Herb Encrusted Barramundi

Wednesday Night Creative Cooking with Puppet

After pushing forward his cooking night, Puppet finally cooked a new and different three-course meal.

Entrée
Golden Squid on a bed of Herb Salad

 

 

Main Course
Herb Encrusted Barramundi on Potato Mash with
Steamed Broccolini & Asparagus

 

 

Dessert
Fresh fruit salad

 

Review by Poppit:
The entire three courses were all delicious and full of beautiful, complimentary flavours.  Both the squid and barramundi were very fresh and cooked to perfection.  The vegetables with the barramundi were ideal for the style and flavours and weren’t overpowering at all.  I really enjoyed having fresh fish and squid at home as we don’t often get to!  Both pieces were bought at a local seafood supplier and we should definitely make the effort to cook with fish more often as it’s just so delicious (and also very good for your health!). 
Five stars for Puppet this week!
