So, last night for dinner, I figured it was time to give it a go - especially seeing I'd bought extra mushrooms specifically for this recipe. I'm not sure what time I started but it took me ages! Mainly because the bowl of my food processor is broken (Steve ordered a new one online as we were trying to work out how to do the food processing, without a food processor). I ended up using the blender and just doing little bits at a time. This was for the stuffing component of the recipe. You should have seen the kitchen bench ...
Anyway it finally came together and in the oven and we were ready to eat by 8:20 - well a bit later because after Steve had sliced it I remembered that I wanted to take photos for this blog. I need to prepare for the photos a bit better and have whatever props I want ready to go. This was more like, quick, where's a white plate, how am I going to get enough light, where's the rosemary ... and Steve is just wanting to eat.
It actually worked out really well and tasted great. Worth the effort? Yes, I think so, especially when I have the right tools for the job next time. And it would be so easy to add different things to this recipe. I didn't have hazelnuts, so just used the walnuts I had at home. I also decided against cooking puy lentils, and used tinned lentils. Next time I might add a gravy to it - and veggies.
