Dinner of the week

Posted on by arappleby

Ok so as I was saying… onions and rice… waited till the rice had started to cook and turn translucent.

That’s the onion and rice with a first splash of stock.

Well it was all going lovely so I got into a little rhythm of simmering the stock down while stirring. It’s a patience intensive dinner but so worth it.

I added the herbs and aimed for the liquid to reduce by this much before another splash. I kept going till it was both stock cubes down (2 litres ish)
In go the mushrooms. It looks like a lot but it gets smaller I promise. Mushrooms always shrink.
Just as I promised it started to reduce. I added the wine in to the pot.
Turns out I put the peas in too early so I would suggest saving them till there’s less liquid and it’s more reduced.
I served it when it was that thick. So I could run a spoon through.

So that’s how I kinda did that. All done and dusted. I stuck it in bowls put the chicken on top then all we had to do was dig in and enjoy. Those of you without gallbladder issues can add cheese to the end and melt it in or even a little butter.

That was absolutely lovely even if I do say so myself.
