Lunch: Arancini

Ingredients (for 2-4 people):

  • 25g mixed dried wild mushrooms
  • Butter
  • Flavourless oil, e.g. groundnut, for frying
  • 1 small onion or banana shallot, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • 250g risotto rice
  • 125ml dry white wine
  • 500ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • 25g Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 9 mini mozzarella cheese balls or ½ a large ball 
  • 1–2 eggs, beaten
  • About 100g plain flour
  • 125g panko breadcrumbs or ordinary breadcrumbs
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, to serve (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Soak the mushrooms in 250ml hot water for 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a heavy-based, high-sided frying pan or saucepan over a medium heat. Add a generous knob of butter and a glug of oil and sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes until soft but not coloured.
  3. Add the rice and stir vigorously around the pan for a couple of minutes until the grains start to turn slightly translucent at the edges. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the wine and scraping up the bits at the bottom. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for a minute or two to burn off the alcohol.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the stock and add the soaking liquor from the mushrooms. Add a ladleful of the hot stock mixture to the rice and stir over a medium heat until absorbed, then add another ladleful. Repeat until all the stock is used up or the rice is tender but still al dente. Make sure to stir regularly to create a creamy risotto. (This should take about 20 minutes.)
  5. Chop the rehydrated mushrooms into small pieces and gently stir into the cooked risotto. Add a knob of butter and the Parmesan, then stir to mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then leave the risotto to cool (it will do this more quickly if you spread it on to a baking tray).
  6. If using mini mozzarella balls, halve them; if using part of a large ball, cut it into 1.5–2cm cubes. 
  7. Lay out 3 plates or shallow bowls. Put the beaten egg in one, the flour (seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper) in another and the breadcrumbs in the final one.
  8. Once the risotto is cooled (it doesn’t matter if it is still a little warm, as long as it has stiffened up a bit and is cool enough to handle), roll it into balls the size of golf balls. Push a piece of mozzarella into the middle of each ball, ensuring that the cheese is completely enclosed. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight. 
  9. Heat a deep-fat fryer to 170°C or fill a large saucepan one-third full of flavourless oil and heat until a cube of bread dropped into the hot oil sizzles and turns golden brown in 30 seconds.
  10. Dip a rice ball into the flour, shake off any excess, then dip into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by coating completely in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining balls.
  11. Deep-fry the balls in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately while the middles are still melting. Drizzle with lemon juice if desired.

Dinner: Roasted root veg

Ingredients (for 12 people):

  • 3 kg Maris Piper potatoes
  • 16 carrots
  • 12 parsnips
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • ½ a bunch of fresh rosemary , (15g)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. Peel the potatoes, then scrub, top and tail the carrots and parsnips, cutting any larger ones in half lengthways. Cook in a large pan (or two) of boiling salted water for 8 minutes, then drain in a colander and leave to steam dry. Pick out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side, then give the colander a few light shakes to chuff up the potato edges.

Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil (or turkey fat) to two large roasting trays and season each with sea salt and black pepper. Squash the garlic bulb, then divide the cloves between the trays, along with the rosemary sprigs. Tip in the veg, add a good swig of red wine vinegar and toss to coat. Roast for 40 minutes, then remove from the oven and lightly squash with a fish slice to burst the skins. Place back in the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Dinner: Veggie Burger Recipe

Ingredients (for 4-6 people):

Total Time: 20m

  • 1 can pinto or black beans (other varieties also work)
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder, optional
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp flour of choice or oat bran
  • 1/2 cup cooked diced vegetables of choice

INSTRUCTIONS

These burgers can be baked, grilled, or fried, and feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand. For the burgers in the pictures, I used roasted mushrooms, asparagus, and onion. You can also change up the flavor by adding different spices, such as paprika, cumin, or curry powder.

To make the veggie burgers, first drain, rinse, and mash the beans either by hand or in a food processor, depending on desired burger texture. Stir in all other ingredients, and form patties. Either pan fry (flipping halfway through cooking) or place on a parchment-lined pan and bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. Flip, then bake an additional 10 minutes or until desired texture is reached. (You can also grill the burgers. Grilling instructions are listed earlier in this post.) Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen in meal prep containcers for a later day.

Luca: Breakfast; Veggie Breakfast Sandwich

The perfect breakfast sandwich offers layers of opposing textures and flavors. Here’s what I suggest

  1. Toast your English muffin, for a little bit of crunch and some warm, toasty flavor.
  2. Spread good mayonnaise across the bottom bun for some creaminess and tanginess. I recommend Sir Kensington’s brand.
  3. Mash up some avocado in a bowl. The mash spreads easily over the remaining bun.
  4. Once your cheesy egg is ready, place it onto the mayo side. If and only if tomatoes are in season, add a slice of red tomato.
  5. Then add some red onion for some pungent flavor and crunch to contrast the soft egg. If you’re sensitive to onion flavor, rinse the sliced onions under cool running water to talk off some of the edge.
  6. Top the red onion with a couple splashes of hot sauce. I love Tabasco. The tangy acidity almost makes the onions taste pickled, and breaks through the rich, creamy flavor of the eggs and cheese.
  7. Arugula offers fresh, peppery flavor. Load it up!
  8. Finally, place the avocado bun on top, avocado side down. To slice, carefully slide a sharp, pointed knife into the center of the sandwich, and slice across to one edge. Repeat in the opposite direction. Serve warm.

How to scramble the egg

Basically, you scramble up one egg with a tiny bit of water (the water helps prevent the egg from browning too soon). Pour it into a hot, medium-sized, buttered pan. It starts to set almost immediately.

Place a couple of slices of cheese in the center to melt, then fold one side over the middle, followed by the opposite side. Repeat with the remaining two sides. And you’re done!

Eggs cooked this way will please kids, as well as runny yolk-averse individuals and basically everyone. Try it, and you’ll see.
