Jamie Oliver seafood risotto recipe - help find an old recipe that’s not online

[Mrs Miggins]

Yes!!!! Yes that’s it!

Thank you very much oryx

So it was Jamie Oliver after all!! That’s brilliant. Thanks

Would you be kind enough to take a picture of the basic recipe as well so I can make it?

Wow! Thanks so much

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I have no recollection of the fennel…but I do remember the bit about “don’t leave out the anchovies”

I liked the look of that seafood risotto, then remembered my OH is not keen on anchovies. JO says you won't taste them so I might still try it

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Oh that is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so, so much!!

You really can’t taste the anchovies in the recipe. It’s just really very tasty. I used to make it with big prawns rather than mixed seafood and it always really impressed people.

I’ve been searching for it off and on for ages so I’m really grateful to you for taking the time to look and post that. Thank you.

I might try and pick up the book anyway if I can find it cheap somewhere.

There is no way I'd eat an anchovy as is , but I often use them at the start of a pasta sauce or similar.

Glad it was helpful.

Saying you can't taste the anchovies, and that big prawns work well (I'm not that person who goes to the local fishmonger - there isn't one - buys squid, cleans and chops it up!) is useful to me.

I love anchovies! There's a really nice Swedish recipe with potatoes, cream and anchovies that I used to make a lot when I lived on my own, and now don't.

The problem I’m going to have with my new husband and this recipe is hiding the celery. He hates celery

Oh yes! That’s lush that. I haven’t made it for years either.

That's the one! It's delicious as long as you don't try making it healthier by using yogurt instead of cream.

If you chop it small it's not obvious - think of using it like a herb rather than a vegetable - it just works as a flavour enhancer rather than a thing in its own right.

Much like anchovies as the base of a sauce

I’ll chop it as small as small can be! He’ll be willing to try I’m sure and much like the anchovies, you can’t actually taste celery in the finished dish.

you can replace anchovies with capers
supposedly Worcestershire sauce has a simliar effect too
