Awsm Risotto Recipe

Easy as hell, and it impresses everyone that I've ever made it for:

Arborio rice (rule of thumb: 1 cup of rice per 2 people)

• veggie stock (at least a liter and a half)
• an onion
• garlic
• ~300g ricotta

Pretty much any veggies that you have lying around. Off the top of my head, I've used (I've asterisked the highly recommended):

• mushrooms*
• spring onions
• pine nuts (fuckin' love pine nuts)*
• broccoli
• carrots
• green beans
• baby spinach*
• pumpkin*

Throw some oil in a largeish saucepan, fry the onion (diced) and garlic until you get those good smells going. Throw in the rice (uncooked), shake and stir it around until the rice is coated in the garlicy goodness, then pour in some veggie stock until the rice is covered. This shouldn't take much stock, and you'll need plenty of stock remaining for the rest of the recipe.

Stir the risotto almost constantly, adding stock when the rice absorbs nearly all the stock already in the saucepan. Throw in vegies as you go (but not until the rice is at least 1/2 cooked), with the veggies requiring the most cooking time (pumpkin, carrots, etc.) going in earlier, and save the mushrooms, pine nuts and other delicate veggies until just before you take it off the heat. You want to be cutting the pumpkin into bite sized chunks, and it'lll probably break down (don't worry -- this is good!) and amalgamate into the thickness. Holy christ, it's tasty. It's going to thicken up. A lot. This is very good.

Add spices to taste, crumble ricotta over servings, and bam! You're now an AWSM cook.

Awsm Meat Loaf Recipe

1.5 lbs ground beef. Mix with crushed ritz crackers - about 3/4 of a sleeve, plus one egg. Throw in some Worcestershire sauce, spicy mustard, sea salt and cracked pepper. Always put in a splash of dill pickle juice as well. Tangy! Then slice up sweet onions very thin and let them cook under the loaf.

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 c ketchup

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 splash Tabasco. 

Mix it all up, pour it over the top of the loaf, and cook about an hour.

Awsm East Austrian Goulasch

Saute 2 large minced onions in oil or butter; add 2 big handfuls of cubed white potatoes.

Add chicken broth, chopped spicy sausage, and a few cloves of minced garlic. 

Dump in the following spices: salt, pepper, caraway seed, marjoram, and a shitload of sweet paprika and hot paprika. I mean a lot. 

That shit should be bright red. Simmer it all together for an hour or so and serve with bread and butter.

If you wanted to make it a little thicker, you could add some flour in with the onions at the beginning to make a roux. Just a suggestion.

Awsm Simple Sweetcorn & Egg Soup

You need:

1. Garlic (I like it with garlic)
2. Chicken stock (I use cubes because it's easier)
3. Sweetcorn
4. Egg
5. Cornstarch (optional; I personally prefer it without).
6. Salt
7. White pepper

Steps:

1. Chop garlic finely
2. Boil water (well, duh)
3. Add chicken stock
4. Throw the sweetcorn in
5. Now, add the egg in while the soup is bubbling/boiling. You need the egg to cook immediately to get the stringy effect. Keep stirring while the egg is slowly poured in.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste
7. Add cornstarch if desired to make it thick.
8. SERVE!
