The GF Recipe Thread

[L19red]

You cook, I can tell. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I reckon robbief will need more specific measurements before he would even dare have a go at your suggestion

 

Its so long since I used a receipe I dont really know but for 2 people these are rough measurements

1 medium onion

a mug of rice not quite full to the top

the amount of mushrooms you get in one of those plastic containers from the supermarket

a pint of stock

a handful of grated parmesan

 

alternatively try something like this but leave out the garlic

Unfortunately, this is oh so very true.

Mushroom Rissoto Cheap????

[lifetime fan]

Go to your butchers and get some mutton.

 

Season it well and stud with rosemary and garlic, cook on gas mark 2 for 4-5 hours.

 

When this is in the oven slice a load of potatoes nice and thinly without chopping your fingers off, layer these in a large tray with onions and salt and pepper after 90 minutes pour off the juices from the mutton in to the tray of potatoes and add them to the oven.

 

Do the same every 45 minutes or so.

 

You'll feed an army a brilliant meal for less than a tenner and still be able to afford 2 litres of cheap cider out of the change to drink when you're waiting for the food.

Mushroom Rissoto Cheap????

 

well lets see

 

250g chestnut mushrooms £1

125g arborrio rice 33p

1 vegetable stock cube 10p

1 onion 19p

25g parmesan 37p

 

Exactly £2 to feed 2 people so yeah its cheap. Price goes up if you add wine and porcini but the basic receipe is good value.

Again, like L19red, this sounds dead easy (and good) but for those new to the game you need to give quantities and be more precise eg how much mutton feeds how many people, do the potatoes need peeling (it doesnt matter if that's optional, you need to see this. Trust me, I have just been through all this with the klutz that is my son. Where did I go wrong? And dont answer that)

 

And there's no chance robbiefowler9'll be cooking on gas in uni halls....in case they blow themselves and everyone else up.

 

Apart from that, you're doing great!

It seemed like such a cool and interestingly original handle when I was 15... But call me John, as that is my name.

[robbiefowler9]

The GF is a most wonderful, lovely place. Thank you all very much for all the help!

Have you been drinking, John? ;)

[robbiefowler9]

Funnily enough, I don't drink (and I'm from Oirland). I haven't slept in a while though.

That's maybe not a such a good thing either......

 

I'm heading off now but I'll be around tomorrow if you need a hand

Nothing wrong with a username after God, it's just we had a poster on here a while back called robbief, he annoyed one or two people.

I find it hard to remember all the different dicks who have come and gone. Xabid sticks in my head for some reason, though.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up....I, for one, didnt know what ShoePiss was on about

He pissed a lot of people off but was very funny at times too. I think people started to tire of him after a while and he had a bit of a meltdown iirc.

 

Lots of posters thought he was an alter ego of someone already on here to start with.

Prices are from Tesco website, not that I ever shop there mind you I have an aversion to supermarkets. Prices were divided so the 500g bag of rice actually costs £1.32 but you only need a quarter of that.

 

As I said in the original post, wine and more exotic mushrooms are for if you want to push the boat out, not essentials.

Care to price up your chilli con carne for comparison?

I'll get you started, Tesco have 250g of beef mince for £2.19

[celeryBADboy]

Aborio Rice 33p last time i bought it in england was 3.20 for a very small box from the CoOp

The Wine i cook with costs atleast 8 pounds

as for stock you have to buy a box which for some good stock i recomend Knoir thats about 1.90

Parmazan 37p ???? Jeez thats cheap must be that stuff in a tub that smelle like sick

Onion i used to spend about 40p on, Seriously this guy must shop at the cheapest place on the planet. Ive a Romanian lad sat next to me amazed by these prices haha.

[celeryBADboy]

Ive made it for 13 pounds before when i cooked it on a trial to run that restaurant, That was enough to serve 10

[celeryBADboy]

For meat always go butchers 250 for £2.19 wow thats expensive A local butchers i get a k for 5.00
