Mushroom risotto
With mushrooms, garlic and herbs, this tasty risotto is an ideal supper on chilly nights
‘Ididn’t like mushrooms as a child and wouldn’t eat them,” says actor, TV presenter and now cookbook author Joe Swash, who developed a taste for them during his time on in 2008, thanks to fellow contestant Timmy Mallett.
“[He] was a vegetarian and he’d be given some wild mushrooms. He’d fry them up and I just had to try some – they smelled so good. I loved them and after that, poor old Timmy had to share his mushrooms with me every night. Now, one of my favourite things is a good mushroom risotto.”
