I finished work on PhoneShop this week and it has been quite a hectic month. What with racing to and from Sutton for work, dealing with the dreadful ongoing cold weather and wind, hen dos and assault courses, I've been too knackered to cook. However, after having a few long lie ins this week, getting my hair cut and sorting out the house, I feel slightly more like a human being again. I'm trying to get back into the swing of cooking and have had varying success. I'm obviously a little rusty.
Sunday night was OK. I cooked a nice Risotto stuffed pepper with Billy and Andrea. My Risotto was Artichoke, Pea and Parsley and it was tasty. So I saved the remaining risotto with the intention of making Risotto Balls. I had Risotto Balls at Carluccios a few weeks ago on the hen do and loved them. And, I know they're pretty hip at the moment. They're a good starter or party food and I think they're classy!
Well...It started well. I formed the risotto into balls and covered in breadcrumbs. They looked good. Just one thing though. You need to dip them in egg, and I knew that. However, I didn't have any egg and couldn't be bothered to go to the shop and get some. So, I risked it.
As soon as I went to fry them they started to fall apart in front of me. I ended up with a partially fried Risotto mess.
DISAAAASTER!!!
EGG is the key here and I will use it next time!! And, when I do get it right I'll publish the recipe. Also, the moral of this story is to go with your gut instinct and not to ignore it because you can't be bothered to go to the shop!
