Isle of Skye, langoustines, loch Ness

Went up to the Isle of Skye last week for dinner. It was a bit of a long way to go for supper I grant you, but once there the dinner was well worth the trip.

We splashed out and had the taster menu and I had to post this picture of the starter as we had just driven past Loch Ness on the way up and thought it very appropriate  -and very delicious!

The langoustines tasted as though they had just jumped onto the plate and the head was filled with a delicious  ‘palate cleansing’ concoction. The presentation gave us a good laugh as well.

So if you are ever on Skye look up the Three Chimneys it really is worth a visit.

leeks, mint, peas, risotto

I was on my own last night with not much left in the fridge after the hoards had left after the bank holiday. After a quick look in the fridge and a bit of a forage in the garden I ended up making this very tasty risotto.

For one person you will need:

1    leek washed and sliced

1    large handful frozen peas zest of a lemon and juice of 1/2 lemon

1     large handful risotto rice

1     handful chopped parsley/mint or basil

1/2litre approx.Hot chicken or vegetable stock and a generous splash white wine if available

Gently fry the leek in a little oil until it starts to soften, 9 about 3-4 minutes) then add the rice and stir well so that the oil coats the rice. Add the wine if using it and a cup full of the hot stock, stir well , adding the lemon zest and simmer for another 15 minutes adding more stock when required. When the rice is almost cooked and all the liquid absorbed stir in the peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Check the rice is cooked (still with a very slight bite to it)add the herbs and lemon juice. Serve with grated parmesan.
