\"\"<\/a>A simple recipe from Gino d’Acampo<\/a> which you can find at bbc.co.uk\/food: delicious, delicate and perfect comfort food for cold, dark evenings. As it includes onion, garlic and leeks it rather bigs out on the genus Allium<\/a>, but when was that ever a problem?<\/p>\n

His is for one person, ours is for three. Mostly you can triple up the quantities, but not always …<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
He says<\/strong><\/td>\nI say<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Half an onion for 1 person.<\/strong><\/td>\n1.5 onions for 3 would just be silly, wouldn’t it? One is fine.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 clove garlic<\/strong><\/td>\nOne of those few occasions where I almost concur with the chef’s estimate. I would<\/em> go over 3 cloves … but not too far over. There are too many other enjoyable flavours floating around and you don’t want to spoil them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
100g risotto rice<\/strong><\/td>\nWe allow 75g per person, and 225g for 3 works just fine.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Also …<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
He says<\/strong><\/td>\nI say<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Heat the butter and oil in a saucepan over a medium heat<\/strong><\/td>\nFine, if you’ve actually remembered to have any butter in. Our alternative was a “this feels right” combination of rapeseed oil, olive oil and a dollop of Tesco buttery spread.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hot chicken stock<\/strong><\/td>\nVegetable stock works just fine and I think makes the whole thing far more flavoursome and delicate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dolcelatte<\/strong><\/td>\nOr the in-store brand of anything blue, creamy and cheesy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Wash down with something red and chuggable, and of course, don’t forget to let it simmer and mature while you enjoy that G&T first.<\/p>\n
