Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Yoghurt question
« on: May 17, 2012, 01:39:50 am »
I made the yoghurt from the EDC last night and checked it this morning.  It has worked - yay - but its quite runny.  The EDC said to make pot set style yoghurt to strain it through muslin which I did - however the yoghurt just ran straight through the cloth (too runny).

I have put it in the fridge hoping it will set a bit more in there ????  If not - any suggestions as to how I get the thicker yoghurt?

Thanks in advance :)

Originally this recipe was only 500g chicken but thats not enough to feed my lot.  The cream was 300ml.

I added the extra 100ml of cream to compensate for the chicken.  I tried it tonight with 750g chicken and 300ml cream - was excellent.

I have edited the recipe to read 300ml cream

thanks for the input  ;)

You can buy bacon pieces at the deli section of the supermarket or packets of them where they have the packets of ham etc. I am making this again tonight  ;D

I tried with 300ml of cream which was the original recipe but it was a bit dry

I was going to use dried shitake mushrooms but wasn't sure they would be suitable. I got some truffle oil for my birthday but can't find it  ???

Made this today. Didn't use parsley. Used 90g parmesan and half cup wine. Added salt and pepper to taste at the end. Also didn't use porcini - too expensive so used 300g brown mushrooms. Was very impressed for my first ever Risotto. Using it for arancini later today. Great recipe thanks

Hi all

Am making risotto today to make arancini for tonight.  My questions are can you double the recipe and if so would you have to cook it longer?

Also does anybody know if risotto freezes well?

thanks in advance  :-*

Chit Chat / Re: I have 500g Greek yoghurt to use by tuesday
« on: February 11, 2012, 12:51:28 am »
Most labels have the "best before" date on them as its the law to do so.  A lot of the stuff will last a lot longer than the "use by" date.

You kind of get to know when stuff has gone over IMHO - lots of stuff will last ages past.
