Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code; Mushroom Risotto

Artemis Fowl· Eoin Colfer· Main Meals

15 Apr

Butler prepared them a meal. Nothing fancy. Vegetarian spring rolls, followed by mushroom risotto with creme caramel to finish. Mulch opted for a bucket of diced worms and beetles, sauteed in a rainwater and moss vinaigrette.

-Artemis Fowl and The Eternity Code, Eoin Colfer

artemis fowl mushroom risotto Food in Literature

I’ve never been much of a risotto fan. Having ordered it in restaurants before, I often left half of it behind, and kind of grimaced as I ate my way through the first bit. I guess it just took the right recipe to make me enjoy it. And the head-smacking moment hours later, when I realised I cracked open and poured in a $30 bottle of wine…

I’m hearing crickets.

It’s a good thing it was so damn good, otherwise I would’ve been mortified at wasting perfect drinking wine. I’m going to tell myself that it made all the difference to the taste to make myself feel better (Bryt, you numbnut). But I’ll tell you that any cheap wine will do. The $4.90 bottle on the shelf, for example. Like I should have done in the first place.

Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code; Mushroom Risotto

I’ve cut down the recipe to make 2 servings, but they were pretty ample sized servings. A meal and a snack came out of it. Up the measurements if you need, the original recipe was double the amount.

Save Print
Ingredients
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ brown onion, finely sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1½ tsp of dried thyme
  • 100g mushrooms, chopped (1 large portobello mushroom worked out to be ~100g)
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Start by bringing vegetable stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
  2. In a large frying pan or large saucepan, heat oil (my favourite is a garlic infused olive oil or chilli if I want a kick) and toss in the chopped up onion, garlic and thyme.
  3. Stir until the onions are soft.
  4. Add in the rice and stir it around (I've been taught, only stir in one direction, otherwise you're going to miss areas and make the cooking inconsistent) until coated in the oil.
  5. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the vegetable stock, give it a good stir, then let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  7. By then the liquid will be absorbed and the rice cooked. Toss in the mushrooms, cook till slightly softened (few minutes), before stirring in the butter and parmesan.
  8. At the last minute, add in the parsley and the bit of lemon juice.
  9. Sprinkle with pepper (the vegetable stock often has alot of salt already in, no need for more), give it one last stir, then serve.

I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I use I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I used a How The Grinch Stole Christmas book to easily (and cheaply) decorate my kitchen wall this year. Baroque style photo frames made them that bit fancier!⁣

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

[BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES] It’s been qu [BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES]  It’s been quite a year… but I couldn’t miss celebrating Hobbit Day!  Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shad In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even darkness must pass.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A new day will come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those were the stories that stayed with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That meant something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you were too small to understand why.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they were holding on to something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
