This is my secret weapon, Sacla truffle pesto from Waitrose. I haven't found this in any other supermarkets.

Put the butter, chopped bacon, sliced mushrooms and onions in a frying pan and saute on medium heat. When the vegetables have softened, add the milk and stock granules.

Add the cooked rice. When the rice absorbs all the moisture, add the truffle pesto and mix lightly.

For a nice crunch, sprinkle with the crushed nuts. Grate the cheese on top, season with salt & pepper and garnish with the rocket.

Tips & Note

Add the truffle pesto just before serving, as it will quickly lose its flavour and aroma. Because this dish uses cooked rice, the only al dente consistency you will get will come from the crushed nuts. The salt will come from the cheese and vegetable stock, so check for taste before adding any more.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
