Imagine the scene, a little cottage in Whitstable, Kent on
the coldest weekend of the year so far, tucking into piping hot marinated
chicken wings followed by a deliciously silky mushroom risotto, both made with
a secret ingredient, Celia Lager.
Gluten Free Lager brand Celia (who also own the renowned Gluten Free restaurant Vozars in Brixon) and Gallo have joined forces to form a great collection
of recipes using their products to create taste explosions.
I was lucky enough to get the chance to try these recipes
out for myself found them extremely easy to follow. All the recipes include
Celia lager (both light and dark) and make the dishes extra special. I don’t always
cook at home and it was a nice chance to be in the kitchen in charge of the
dinner.
The marinated chicken wings with honey and chilli were
lovely, and came out sticky and golden – of course the magic ingredient being a
whole bottle of Celia Original and left to marinate overnight. For a main
course, I decided to try the mushroom risotto, where I used two types of mushroom
for an intense flavour – oyster and button mushrooms. Again the magic
ingredient along with stock was to use a whole bottle of Celia Original before
the chicken stock was added to the rice. It makes the rice silky smooth and
creamy without any cream being added at all.
The fabulous cookbook full of great little recipes is set to
launch next year. In the meantime though, why not try Celia original in your
risotto?
