Artichoke, caper and lemon risotto and a Good Fork Italian box

Artichoke lemon caper risotto © J Horak-Druiff 2011

 

Perspective.  So much of our experience of this thing we call life is coloured by it.  Where some people see problems stacking up against their business as the economy rollercoasters, others see new opportunities presented by the challenging times.  I love travel, focusing on the new people I get to meet, the new foods I get to eat, and the lovely photos I can capture; a good friend considers travel to be some sort of mediaeval torture full of funny foreign food, annoying strangers, and inconvenient transport. Where my mother heard meaningless, primitive, thump-thump noise, my teenage self heard adrenalin, sex and lyrics that expressed my gentle teenage rebellion (i.e. black nailpolish and lipstick!).  Where my husband sees an ugly broken cupboard in a junk shop with flaking paint, I see a covetable photographic background for blog photoshoots.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

Consider the dandelion. I see it as a total nuisance – a weed with a cheeky yellow flower sent specifically to mock me and then clog up my lawn with its invasive roots and spoil the grass I have worked so hard to nurture.  My friend Sally, on the other hand, sees it as a salad waiting to be picked.  Or the little yellow-flowered plants on the walk to our station that most passers-by regard with contempt as just another east-end weed, but that I secretly know to be the pepperiest wild rocket in London.  Or the nettle (one of the first plants I swore at shortly after my arrival in London as it brushed past my hand setting off those mini-electric shock tingles in my skin that lasted for hours):  I regard it as a bloody menace, positively dangerous – while others regard it as the basis for delicious soups and teas.

The artichoke falls into much the same category.  I mean when you get down to brass tacks, it’s a thistle:  one of those prickly, unfriendly weeds that grow wild in the English countryside and whose prickly demeanour is not softened one bit by the spiky geometry of their purple flowers. So yes, to some it’s a weed.  But grow the right variety – and to others it’s a sought-after delicacy, to be carefully prepared and then dipped leaf by leaf into melted butter and messily, delightfully consumed.   So who decides what is a weed and what is a delicacy?  Probably the first (brave! or desperate?) man who hit upon the idea of boiling up the big spiky flowers and taking a tentative bite 😉

 

ArtichokeCaper

 

Given how much he loves them, I do believe that the abovementioned man may have been a distant ancestor of my husband’s.  Nick totally delights in the entire process, from carefully selecting The Right Artichoke at the market, to the challenges of keeping the damn things submerged as they boil, to the making of the dip, to the slow, methodical consumption of the entire flower leaf by leaf. Me?  Call me lazy, but I’ve always been more of a marinated artichokes kinda girl…  And I recently came into the possesion of a particularly delicious jar of marinated artichokes, courtesy of Virginia of The Good Fork, as part of one of their Intensely Italian hampers. Virginia started the Good Fork after having worked in France and Italy, returning home to England and finding it frustratingly difficult to find great authentic Mediterranean ingredients here.  She set about researching European suppliers as focused on quality as she is and set up The Good Fork to provide customers in the UK with the opoporunity to order either a regular monthly or a one-off boxed delivery of Mediterranean deli goodies. You can choose from a Good Fork deli box (7 items for £28.50) or a Bigger Fork box (9 items for £35.50) – both prices include mainland UK delivery.

The box I received was a limited edition Intensely Italian one-off box (A Thoroughly French box is also available with a Festive Fork and a Gorgeous Greek in the pipeline – all priced at £39.50) and contained:

  • whole black summer truffle from Ellesse
  • mostarda from Barbieri & Co. (mine was mandarin)
  • Sapori do Casa hand-made pappardelle pasta
  • rustic marinated artichokes from La Conserve Toscane
  • fregola (toasted pasta grains) from Rustichella d’Abruzzo
  • crema di peperoncino piccante hot pepper sauce from Pralina
  • a bar of torrone (Italian nougat)
  • Occhialino salted capers from Sicily

The box also includes a handy leaflet explaining a little more about each ingredient and suggesting a few recipes.  The box was ever so neatly packed and I was also pleased by the eco-friendly shredded card packing material rather than the ubiquitous buble-wrap.  Although I have not yet tried all the contents, all the products impressed me with their apparent quality – these are definitely not the kind of things you will find on the shelves of your local Tesco.  For what I received (if you exclude the cost to the company of postage and packaging), the price works out at an average of about £4 per item – which is not dirt cheap but works out at the same or less than retail prices of similar imported products (and of course, this box would be a luxury treat, not your weekly grocery shop!).  As a Christmas gift for a foodie, it’s a wonderful idea.

The only remaining question was what I should make first!  I could see a couple of meals being formed from the selection I received and the obvious first choice was to make a pasta dish.  But seeing as Darling Husband had already made me pasta the night before when I got back late from speaking at Bite ‘n Write in Birmingham (bless him!), and seeing as I have some carnaroli rice that Riso Gallo sponsored for the recent Plate to Page workshop in Tuscany, I decided to go for a risotto instead.  The combination of flavours was fantastic – the earthiness of the excellent artichokes, the little salty explosions of the capers, and the creamy mouthfeel of the carnaroli rice, all lifted by the lightness of the lemon. Perfect harmony, from any perspective.

DISCLOSURE: The artichokes and capers were free samples provided by The Good Fork as part of their Intensely Italian box, and the rice was a free sample from Riso Gallo as part of their sponsorship of the recent Plate to Page workshop 

 

ArtichokeRisottoFinal

ARTICHOKE, CAPER & LEMON RISOTTO (serves 2)

Ingredients:

180g marinated artichoke hearts, cut into 1/8th wedges
2 Tbsp capers
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large clove of garlic, crushed
Juice from half a medium lemon
300g of risotto rice (I used carnaroli from Riso Gallo)
60g Parmesan cheese, grated
100ml dry white wine
2 Tbsp olive oil
20g +20g butter
600ml vegetable stock
Lemon zest to garnish

Method:

If using salted capers (as opposed to capers in brine) like I did, soak for at least 15 minutes in cold water, drain and rinse before using.

Melt 20g of the butter together with the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.  Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent and soft but do not let it brown.  Add the rice and cook for a minute or two, stirring constantly stir so that each grain is well-coated with oil/butter.  Add the white wine and keep stirring until the liquid has been absorbed almost completely.

Add the hot stock a ladleful at a time (probably about 150-200 ml per ladle).  Keep stirring until each ladleful has been completely absorbed, but do not let the rice dry out and stick to the pot.  Once each ladleful is absorbed, add the next until the stock has all been added.  The rice should be soft but each grain should retain some bite in the centre, perfectly al dente, which should take about 20 minutes.

5 minutes before the rice is ready, in a separate saucepan gently heat through the artichoke wedges and capers for 3-4 minutes. Stir the artichokes, capers and lemon juice into the risotto. Continue to cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until heated through and the juice has been absorbed.

Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 20g of butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary – beware of adding salt as the capers, cheese and artichokes are all salted already, but a good grind of pepper does not hurt.  Garnish with lemon zest and a little more grated Parmesan and serve immediately.

 


P2P_badge-SomersetI am also thrilled to announce that after our super-successful Tuscany Plate to Page workshop last month, we have today opened registrations for Plate to Page Somerset due to be held in the UK in Spring 2012!  Have a look at the programme, details about accommodation, and if it looks like something you’d like to attend, register here – but hurry: places are limited to 12. It would be great to see you there!

 

More deliciousness for you!

    I love the box of goodies Jeanne. A great Christmas present idea. We usually cook our artichokes in totally different manner and I myself tend to favour the ones marinated in oil.
    Good luck with your next P2P. Would love to attend one so close to home but it falls right in the middle of my year end project at University…..bad bad timing for me :0)

    I too tend to prefer marinated artichokes until I tasted Carciofi at a restaurant in Rome. Hum… perhaps I’ll use the box of carnaroli rice from Riso Gallo I have on hand (great stuff!) and incorporate Carciofi. Enjoyed your post and perspective on things!

    This looks exquisite, from my perspective. I love all the ingredients, but the risotto looks as though it becomes so much more than its constituent parts. The magical component, your imagination, has worked wonders, Jeanne.

    You know there is this recipe that my mum loved, artichokes a la polita – basically it is a kind of artichoke stew that most children loathe. I know I did! I think that’s why I’m so much of a marinated artichoke kinda gal. They always taste great to me, especially compared to the yukky family recipe. Your risotto looks lovely!

    That’s a good point about the first person to try artichokes, I wonder how some of the foods we now take for granted first became a part of our diet. There must have been many brave souls!

    What a nice post!! I am also way to lazy to cook my own artichokes and prefer the bottled variety!! That box with goodies looks wonderful!

Are you a cook... or a baker? 
I fall firmly into the "cook" category. Baking is too precise, too fiddly - and best left to those with an affinity for it, I always say! But every now and then, only a cake will do. Say, for example... when you celebrate your blog's SIXTEENTH birthday!! 🎉🍾 Yes, last month Cooksister.com turned sweet sixteen, and to celebrate I baked this sticky spiced plum upside down cake. It's a very forgiving recipe and it's worth every single calorie 😁.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappoint
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Anybody else got Lockdown Itchy Feet Syndrome...?? If it isn't an official disorder,  it certainly should be!

I have always been a dreamer, a planner, an explorer. Few things excite me more than stepping onto the soil of a country I have not visited before. When I am going through tough personal times, my go-to self-help therapy has always been to arrange a trip - to throw off the metaphorical bow lines and sail away to a new adventure. 
But then... Corona 😞  I can honestly say that I am enjoying working from home; enjoying having the time to run every day; enjoying cooking proper meals; enjoying my own company; enjoying the lack of FOMO. But OH MAN, I miss travel. 
This image was taken 2 years ago in St George's, Grenada - my first visit to the Caribbean but  certainly not my last. This photo has me dreaming of the day I can throw off those bow lines and travel again... How are you dealing with the lack of travel during this time?

Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the S
Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the Spring bulbs that were planted last year that have been flowering in parks and public gardens with nobody (or fewer people, anyway...) around to admire them? Spare a thought for the gardeners at Holland's famous Keukenhof who planted SEVEN MILLION bulbs last winter in preparation for the garden's annual 2-month opening... but because of Covid-19 Keukenhof did not open at all in 2020. 
But the good news is that for the first time in its history, Keukenhof was virtually open this year, meaning you can enjoy the best of the Spring flowers virtually, from the comfort of your armchair.  Keukenhof posted an amazing series of videos to their YouTube channel featuring magnificent 360 degree tours of the 2020 flowering bulbs; a run-down of the best photo spots; talks by various Keukenhof gardeners; and even a visit from Spongebob Squarepants!  You can check out their YouTube channel here https://bit.ly/2WWkahW. Or you can visit my blog  https://bit.ly/2zMgrLL  to see more of my Keukenhof images like this one of a river of tulips from when I visited a few years ago.

Have you visited Keukenhof?  What were your favourite Spring flowers? ⚘⚘⚘

When people tell me they don't like Brussels spro
When  people tell me they don't like Brussels sprouts, my inner voice always cries out the same response: oh honey, you're just doing it wrong! Sesame ginger sprouts are nutty, zingy and delicious - the opposite of the overcooked grey stinky sprouts of your youth, and so easy to make! 🔖 Remember to save this post so you can make the recipe later! The recipe is also on my blog - click the live link in my profile. 
For 4 people you need:
500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and cooked (I roast mine in a hot oven)
1 x 2cm piece of ginger cut into fine matchsticks
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Salt & pepper 
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the ginger till fragrant. Add the sprouts, mix well and heat through. Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, season and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Did you know that 6 February is Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand? .

I am marking the occasion with this photo was taken just over 3 years ago on the shores of beautiful Lake Pukaki on the South Island, looking across at Mt Aoraki.  I loved my visit and planned the trip completely independently – here are some tips for anybody thinking of visiting the South Island. .
🔖Click “save” to bookmark these tips for later! ➡️ 1) Take more time than you think you need. In a week you will barely scratch the surface of the South Island - I would say 2 weeks is a comfortable amount of time. ➡️ 2) Don’t assume that summer means hot weather! Even in December (the height of summer) temperatures peak at about 21C in Christchurch. Pack layers. ➡️ 3) Do spend time in Queenstown. It is stunning and one of my favourite places I have ever visited – great for hiking in summer, skiing in winter, sailing on the lake, adventure sports and a base for many surrounding natural attractions. ➡️ 4) Take day trips from Queenstown to Milford Sound and the Franz Josef glacier (but be aware that the weather is often not great). ➡️ 5) Take a road trip! The roads are excellent and generally empty – and it means you get to pose in places like the shore of Lake Pukaki 😊 .

Nicole Kidman's is both hands on hips. Meryl Streep's is only left hand on hip. Victoria Beckham's is right hip out, left foot forward (and no smile!). Mine started as a joke many years ago - the earliest evidence I have is from 2005 😎 Do YOU have a signature pose? Tell me in the comments or DM me a pic!

This particular pose was struck on the @chateaulhospitalet estate in the Languedoc, looking out over @gerardbertrandwines vineyards all the way to the Mediterranean. You can read all about my stay there now on the blog - click on the live link in my profile

Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you
Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you may be surprised by the number of French words you already know: rendezvous, entrepreneur, souvenir and ricochet need no introduction. All have been adopted into English wholesale, with their original French meaning and spelling. Perhaps they should apply for settled status post-Brexit... But sometimes a word’s literal translation in French bears no resemblance to what the word has come to mean, such as canape. Although we know the word as meaning a small piece of pastry or bread with a savoury topping served at drinks receptions, the literal translation is a decorative antique sofa. When a clever chef first came up with the idea, the topping was thought to sit on the bread or pastry like a person reclining on a sofa, and the snacks came to be known half-jokingly as canapes. Fact! 
I enjoyed these very elegant canapes (LOVED the lacy little potato lattices!) with Code Rouge sparkling wine before a jazz dinner at Gerard Bertrand’s flagship wine estate Chateau L’Hospitalet in the Languedoc.  The dinner was as  spectacular as the canapes and you can read all about it on my blog now – click the live link in my profile above.

The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Ol
The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Old Spitalfields Market where this photo was taken is very much open and is one of my favourite London markets. Here are my top tips for visiting Old Spitalfields:

1.  The closest station is Liverpool Street which is only a 5 minute walk from the market.
2. It's open daily, with over a hundred stalls, but on Wednesday the focus is on fashion & on Thursday the focus is on antiques & vintage.
3. The busiest day is Sunday - get there early to beat the crowds!
4. Make sure you sample some of the excellent street food on offer - I love the 8-hour pulled pork bagels from Dirty Bagel, topped with cheese melted by blowtorch in front of your eyes; or the traditional raclette at Abondance.
5. Don't forget to check out the amazing Shoreditch street art in the area around the market, either on a tour or self-guided walk.
6. The Truman Brewery just east of Spitalfields hosts a massive collection of vintage clothes stalls, and more street food - don't miss it!

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Yo
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... get on your way!" (Dr Seuss)

How are you starting the new decade? Staring at the mountains ahead, worrying about how hard they will be to climb and whether your shoes will be comfortable and whether it is going to rain along the way? Or striding confidently towards the mountains ahead, looking forward to the fresh air filling your lungs and the sense of purpose as your legs carry you ever higher, and relishing the prospect of an amazing view from the top?

There is no finer metaphor for life than a walk in the mountains and I have already made my choice as to how I plan to tackle the mountains of 2020. What's your choice? 
Wishing you all a very happy new year and amazing views from the top of every personal and professional mountain that you climb!

This particular mountain is in the Austrian Alps where I hiked last summer. Thanks to @thepassionatecook for the 📸!
