My mum (who is Australian) can make it beautifully, however as she is unwell, I have to make it for a family function and I was just interested to see if there were any different versions on the net. I was surprised to see you make a white sauce to mix with the sour cream? As in bechhamal sauce? Am wondering what difference it makes? Also we tend to lay strips of bacon over the top rather than bread crumbs, so I am going to give the bread crumbs a shot this time! Also the sausage we use is Polish Sausage, not sure if that is a world wide sausage or not, but readily available in deli's here is Australia. Might try a different sort that though as polish is quite fatty (yummy though!) Anyway off I go to start my krumpli! Thanks for your version of it.

Someday she'll wise up, but until then I like to sneak it in. Unethical? Maybe, but I'm willing to compromise myself.<br /><br />And I think risotto in a rice cooker would come out gummy. But who knows? Should we try it?Missmasalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957555186807654112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456510511736836321.post-54177026637460173712010-01-26T12:06:19.393-05:002010-01-26T12:06:19.393-05:00I'm all for making risotto the wrong way!

I'm gonna try this but I guess I'll have to get a pressure cooker. Stupid question: what happens if you use a rice cooker?<br /><br />Other question: I'm glad you play fast and loose with the bacon fat like me. I haven't discussed this with my vegetarian but I expect one day we'll have to. What are the ethics of using chicken stock?Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719464438207028454noreply@blogger.com
