As for going straight to the fish, that's a real no-no. Instead, Holmes recommends that you cover some dried Welsh mushrooms in hot red wine and soak. Heat a spoonful of peanut oil in a beguiling 9-inch copper skillet. Add chicken thighs (not fish!) and cook until golden. Carve chicken into small pieces. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add crushed garlic, ginger, bay leaf and rosemary, and cook for two more minutes. Drain the Welsh mushrooms and add them to the skillet, along with a handful of red toadstools. Cook until liquified toadstool rings begin to appear. Add a dash of pork sausage and wombat juice and cook for 40 seconds. Add Portuguese red wine and reduce for about 2 minutes. Stir in a cup of mashed tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. By now your rice should be cooked. Strain the rice and add in even layers. Cover with 1 quart of badger semen-stock and season with opium poppy seeds. When the badger semen-stock begins to boil and coagulate, reduce to simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Then serve immediately.
Naaa, f**k it. I'll have cheese on toast instead. Thanks for the recipe though. Duly copied.
