Considering a new vocation
Sunday. 4.12.08 10:59 am
Lately I have been quite motivate to cook up a storm and try new recipes in the kitchen. I am not too sure what started this off, maybe it's because I have been watching too much of 'Ramsay's kitchen nightmares' on tv hehehe. Or it could be because I love cooking for the people I love and they give me a lot of encouragement. I like how F enjoys my food and gives me praise when ever something tastes good. Also the fussy eaters in my family, like my brothers hehe. I have also looked into cooking baby food that is tasty and nutritious.

I have even started looking into part time courses at TAFE to do commercial cookery. I can actually see myself as a chef in the kitchen. I think I would be able to remain quite calm and composed. :P My dream is to one day own my own restaurant. Me and my friend Tiff has discussed this before. And we have always thought that one day she will come back to Perth to stay for good and we can open up a 24 hour cafe. But I don't think it will happen in the next 5 years, because with her dad's business back in Indo...looks like she'll be there for a long time!

Last night I made a mushroom, asparagus, smoked ham risotto. I cut back on the parmasan, because it would become too rich. And it tasted amazing! I didn't even have to follow a recipe. I guess it is because I have made risotto my "automatic recipe" I know what a risotto consists of and how it should be made. So I just go by taste and there is no need to follow instructions. hehe.

Here is my recipe, makes for 2:

Ingredients
1 bunch of asparagus chopped into inches
1/2 brown onion diced
1 1/1 tsp garlic
12 button mushrooms sliced
3 slices of smoked ham
1 1/2 cup of aborio rice
1 knob of butter
3 cups chicken stock (1 cube of stock with 3 cups hot water)
3/4 cup of dry white wine
sprinkle of dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Put chopped asparagus in a bowl of water and heat in microwave for 2 mins (til tender but firm). Make stock with one cube and 3 cups boiling water. Melt butter in pan, and toss in onion and garlic and ham on high heat until fragrant. Then put in rice, on medium heat, cover the rice with butter and keep stirring for 2 mins. Then add the wine and mix until all evaporated. Add thyme and stir. Add the first cup of stock to the pan and keep stirring, then add the asparagus. Add the second cup of stock to the pan, still stirring until all the liquid is soaked in, then add the mushrooms. Keep stirring and add ladel by ladel of the last cup, keeping the heat on medium - low until the liquid is absorbed and rice looks soft and opaque. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.

If you wish you may add freshly grated parmasan cheese and parsley and stir it through. Hope it turns out nice for you guys, if you decide to cook it :D
