The kids' dinner hasn't gone to plan.

Have fish, rice and coconut mik baking in the oven. Rice still raw after 20 minutes.

Recoverable or chip shop?

dunno but sounds nice. What kind of rice is it?

dunno but sounds nice. What kind of rice is it?

whoops,

What kind of rice is it? I would expect rice to take much longer than 20 mins in oven, tbh.

What gas mark etc?

Would cook for longer than 20 minutes - more like an hour on gas5

I just wasn't thinking.

Of course rice will take longer. Oops.

It is blinking risotto rice as well.

I cook my risotto on hob then finish it off in oven, takes less time ime

If the fish is in fillets I would probably extricate them from the mix and bung the rice and coconut milk in the microwave for a bit.

Or finish it off on the hob?

Can you get on the hob? A bit more liquid and another 10 minutes?

Oh bugger.

If I drain the rice and milk into a pan, what then?

This will teach me to try and make up a recipe with left over stuff. (Muffins are fab btw.)

If it's risotto rice you should be OK to cook it as if it was risotto, so on a low heat stirring frequently and adding a bit more hot water/stock/milk if it starts to dry up.

Sounds lovely though, am very as we only have toast and cabbage in the house!

I now have the rice and more coconut milk on the hob. How long do you reckon?

A risotto is usually about 20-25 minutes from scratch so probably a bit less than that. Main thing to watch is that it doesn't get to dry and burn on the back of the pan.

Oh heck. I am tempted to give up.

Poor kids will be starving.

How is it coming on?

Perhaps tip some liquid out into a jug, the pour it in bit by bit as it cooks iyswim

Is served. DS1 and I like it.

DD and DS2 don't. No surprises there.

oh well, that would have happened whatever yu had cooked I guess.

At least it cooked.

I just had some more. It is yummy .

Hooray! All worth it then

We had cabbage on toast chez pushme
