Hi folks, Does anyone have a fairly simple and easy to throw together recipe for a seafood risotto? I bought a tub of mixed seafood (cooked mussels, shrimp and squid pieces) in the supermarket and I have some Arborio risotto rice in the cupboard so thought I'd try putting them together! I don't...

Thanks urmaniac. I don't think the tomatoes will actually give much moisture at all because I sauteed them first with the shallots, white mushrooms and some garlic, then mixed them into the ricotta with some breadcrumbs so the mixture wasn't all that wet and the toms lost most of their moisture...

Thanks amber, I was thinking of putting them in at around that temp and for that length of time, I just wasn't sure! I'll just keep an eye on them, make sure I don't burn them to a crisp! Thanks again!

Hi all, I've just prepared tonights dinner of large cap mushrooms stuffed with ricotta, shallots, tomatoes, and chopped button mushrooms, topped with breadcrumbs. I've never cooked these before and was wondering if anyone would have any idea how long to bake these for in the oven and at what...

I always assumed that freezers (that is the ones which have the fridge part on top and the freezer part under) didn't have lights because generally those types of freezers have drawers to pull out, so you can see whats in them easily enough, whereas the fridge section is recessed, you can't...

Hi jrempire, I'm Irish and when I was younger we'd often have corned beef and cabbage or boiled ham for dinner.

Thanks guys, they all sound delicious. And I do really like cous cous aswell urmaniac so I'll definately give that a try. I've just been to the shop and bought some ricotta, large mushrooms, mixed musrooms and peppers so I think I'll try out some nice combinations! Thanks again guys!

Oh thats a good idea, I was wondering what kind of things to use to bind the filling together a bit, never thought of soup! Thanks for all your suggestions thumper, I think I'll head off now to do some shopping for the ingredients! Thanks again! P.S. Any other suggestions are welcome from...

Thanks thumper, the bacon one sounds yum alright! Think I'll give that one a go myself! My boyfriend doesn't eat much meat though for health reasons so was thinking of trying out some veggie type versions. He eats fish and seafood so was thinking of maybe doing something like pepper stuffed with...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I just came across it by accident and I'm glad I did-its a fantastic place and resource for those who love to cook! Anyway, I'm thinking of trying out some recipes, one of which is stuffed bell peppers. I'm just not sure what kind of fillings to put in them...
