Don't Try This At Home!

Each evening, while we're having our daily catch up, I ask Hubby a question.

"What do you want for dinner tomorrow"?

Invariably he will say he wants a curry, or a chilli, or perhaps something with potato.

But occasionally, just once in a while, he'll throw me a curve ball and ask for something a bit...ahem...unusual.

Yesterday was one of those days. For his dinner, he said, he would like a tuna risotto...with onion... and garlic... and Worcester sauce.

Hmmm...

Hesitations put aside, what Hubby wants Hubby gets when it comes to his dinner. So I set about trying to make an edible meal from this random assortment of requested ingredients. And this was the result.

So here is my recipe for a very bizarre risotto. And d'you know what? It didn't taste half bad!

'Hubby's Crazy Risotto' : Serves 2

1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200g risotto/ arborio rice
1 can of tuna, well drained
1/2 can of sweetcorn, well drained
A few splashes of worcester sauce (add as much or as little as you like).
1/2 tspb paprika
black pepper to taste
cheese, to grate (any kind you like!)

1. Heat a little olive oil in a large pan.
2. Saute onion and garlic on a low heat until soft.
3. Add the rice and fry for a further minute until all the rice is coated in the oil.
4. Add a few ladel-fuls of boiling water (using a stock cube is optional...I prefer to do without the salt) and stir thoroughly.
5. Add the tuna, sweetcorn and paprika and worcester sauce and stir thoroughly, simmering gently on a low heat.
6. Continue to add more water as required until the rice is thoroughly cooked.
7. Once served, grate the cheese on top.

And you're done! Now you can enjoy (or not enjoy) your crazy concoction!
