So, the weekend is now long gone. And some Bite Clubbers have been quick out of the blocks (blogs?) and already posted about their weekend rice adventures: brusselsaway cooked Gordon Ramsay's Basmati pilaf with whole spices; PamelaHutchinson did a roasted root risotto; and SusanSmillie whipped up kedgeree – a dish that was also going down a treat in our house.
Well, it wasn't totally kedgeree - it was Nigella's kedgeree risotto from Feast, which while sounding very wrong is actually a pretty successful hybrid. (It is not however, as you may have noticed, the most photogenic foodstuff going). And, apart from needing more stock and a bit more spice than the Domestic Goddess thought – hardly a big deal – the recipe needed very little tweaking and delivered very decent results. Although some fantastic haddock from brilliant south-east London fishmongers FC Soper certainly helped. It even turned out the right consistency.
So what did you cook? Come and show us your results – they can't look less appealing on the plate than my dinner manages to (use our Flickr group if you like, or post a url to your photo sharing page in the comments). What recipes did you use? Did they work? What would you change for next time? And, of course, which ingredient should we pick for next week's challenge (that's the weekend of January 30/31)?
