    Peaches.

    Yesterday i had this idea of combining lamb and peaches, for some reason it worked.
    As luck would have it there was a hindquarter in the freezer that my flatmates sister gave me in exchange for cooking some of it for her.
    This was a thoroughly awesome meal

    Ingredients:
    For the lamb

    1 leg of lamb, bone in.
    2 peaches, peeled (SAVE THE SKINS AND THE STONES)
    Rosemary
    Thyme
    1/4 cup chicken stock or broth
    Salt & pepper
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    3 cloves of garlic, grated
    1 shallot or small onion, sliced

    Peel and finely chop your peaches and add them to a pot with the leaves from a stalk of rosemary and the leaves from 2 stalks of thyme as well as the garlic, broth, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Cook it down until the peaches have completely broken down and you have a kind of peach puree.
    Season the meat on all sides with salt and pepper, sear your meat in a hot pan, sit it on top of the shallot slices in a baking pan that only just fits it, you want as little extra room as possible. Slash it all over with a crisscross pattern and pour the puree over the top. Cover tightly in tin foil, making sure no steam can escape.
    Cook at 160 for 2 hours, then remove foil and cook at 220, constantly basting with the juices.
    Remove the lamb from the pan and sit the pan on the stove on a high heat, add 2 tsp of honey and the skins and stones of your peaches (gives it more colour and flavour) reduce it until thickened to your liking, strain.


    Peach risotto

    1/2 cup aborio rice
    Thyme
    Chicken stock (reduced salt version if possible)
    3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
    1 and a half peaches, finely chopped and peeled
    2 slices of shoulder bacon, chopped and crisp
    Olive oil
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    A handful of chopped Basil

    Add some olive oil to a pan on high heat and add the rice, toast for one minute then add the garlic and cook for another minute, add the first edition of stock, just a plash and stir constantly until it absorbs then add the next, add the thyme during this process. The key is to constantly stir, if you don't the risotto won't be creamy. Once it has cooked, add the peaches, bacon, basil, cheese and season with salt and pepper.

    Caramalized baby carrots.

    Baby carrots
    Brown sugar
    Salt & Pepper
    Butter

    Boil your carrots in salted boiling water until nearly done but not quite, Melt a generous butter in a pot and add about a tablespoon of brown sugar along with a few grinds of pepper and mix this until disolved. Add the carrots and toss until slightly browned on all sides.


    Done!

    Please enjoy.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction

    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If your risotto is soupy, you're doing something wrong

    I have never made the stuff Angus. Have had it in restaurants all around the world and always the same (just soupy rice).

    Give it a try rushy it's got a very different flavour to a typical risotto, very bright and tart.

    No thanks Angus. Not about the taste it is about the fact that for me rice shouldn't be wet and sloppy.
