Bay leaf is the job with mackerel.
I'd love a nice feed of mackerel - I'm mad jelous now.

I think when you consider its low cost, deliciousness and richness in fatty acids, it's possible to argue that it's the perfect food. I'm excited too.

Someday I'm going to make Gravad Max - I've been meaning to for years but never get around to it.

So, what should I put in tonight's one? The winning suggestion gets rep.

Also, do you think I'll be able to get Irish grown asparagus somewhere in the city centre?

peas! the pea risotto here is yum yum yum. especially if you stir in some crispy fried bacon bits.

I just had a deep fried risotto starter at a three course lunch... SO GOOD. Especially since I didn't pay for it. Is there anything people don't deep fry?

I've eyed up that pea risotto before, it looks incredible but a bit too much hassle for what I have in mind tonight. I made the caulliflower one before, it ruled.

I might just throw some peas and bacon into a risotto though.

Anyone any idea where to get veggie parmesan or a good substitute? I've asked in all the town health food shops and fallon and byrne type places to no avail. Occasionally I'll turn a blind eye but it kinda creeps me out if I think about it. Tried that vegan stuff, I think it's actually made out of dehydrated baby sick. not ideal.

I know an English crowd make a veggie one that's supposed to be very good. Read about it on the Delia Smith website. Maybe mail order?

it's actually pretty easy, you just feck peas in the blender and then heat them up in butter. if you're making the risotto straightaway you don't need to do the whole covering/reheating malarkey. my only problem with it was that the pea puree was TOO TASTY and i kept wanting to eat it with a spoon.

Oh wow. That worked a treat. Nicest risotto I ever made. And it was easy.
