I did a chorizo risotto tonight too. The best change I have done for a while now, is roasting cherry tomatoes and a bulb of garlic in olive oil in the oven for about 25min while making the risotto, after the butter and Parmesan and letting the risotto it sit for a couple minutes, I mash the tomatoes and garlic up and stir it through the risotto.

You taste the sweet roasted garlic with little chewy bits, I can’t see myself not doing it that way anymore, it adds so much flavour.

That sounds great milanja, i often will roast cherry tomatoes in the oven if i am cooking salmon but have never thought about mashing them up for a risotto, i sometimes make an arabiata sauce for a risotto and stir it through the risotto later but i just use tinned tomato , might try the fresh oven roasted ones next time i do an arabiata sauce

Pork and Beef Tacos.

There's just me and the missus and i still cook enough food for an army. It's a habit I can't break.! We always had family calling in for dinner when we lived in Sydney. There are no impromptu visits down the south coast. Left overs for lunch is always nice though.

Also whipping an old fashioned desert i read in an old magazine called carnation milk jelly which is basically strawberry jelly with carnation milk whisked into it till its thick and frothy then left to set like mousse.
Not sure how it will turn out.

Nice. Did a Greek version recently. Marinated the chicken in Greek yoghurt then baked with lemon, potatoes and red onions. Unreal.
