Left over Prawn Risotto - what to do?

[Tim in Belgium]

Right, I've made loads more prawn and numerous vegetables plus white wine risotto than I can eat. Is it safe to put the ample leftovers in the fridge and eat tomorrow?

Should/can I reheat it tomorrow?

If so microwave or pan?

Or am I going to have to be super fat and finish it all tonight?

[TazDaz]

Quit being a pansy and finish the lot! ;)

Reheat prawns = evening spent talking to god in the bathroom

[metalmonkey]

Only one way to find out:smt100 if that happens then its gone wrong:D

[Tim in Belgium]

No worries, I troughed the lot, still curious though... and rather full.

I take your a bit a fat and well done now then?

[Spiderman]

pmsl, good for you tim.

Prawns the next day are fine as long as cooked thoroughly the first time i say. They just get a bit tough.

From previous experience the rissoto is a hard lump the next day so i add a small amount of water and heat gently on the gas till warmed thru well. Add water as you go/need but try not to strir too much as it can just break up into a big mush with no texture to it.

Wheres GG our resident chefy type person, she'll know.

Wow Spidey, Im actually quite impressed at your foodie knowledge..
Actually they should be ok, shellfish are notorious for being dodgy and giving food poisoing but if they are cooked, cooled down then put in the fridge and reheated gently (yes by adding some water) and you manage to get them warm without them getting too rubbery and dont let them cool or put them in the fridge and reheat them again then they should be fine....although you dont actually need this advice now lol...yum, Im making Thai prawns for our dinner now ...mmmmmm.
Thanks for the idea... :)

no wonder you keep so trim ;)

Tim - I usually microwave leftover risotto with a tight fitting-lid or clingfilm to keep it from drying out. Do it for 30 secs at a time and keep checking until it's just hot enough all the way thought or you'll rubberise it. If you don't have a microwave, melt some butter in pan and reheat gently but throroughly.:)

Can I do the same with a seafood Paella?

Just about to make one and it will be way too much for me (half th ingredients are in a packet, so I can't make a normal sized portion)...

[Spiderman]

Paella rice and risotto rice are very similar, so yeh. Just be aware of the well cooked seafood issue as mentioned before tho.
Or post me the left overs, i like paella.

[metalmonkey]

I have been told you shouldn't reheat rice, as it can make you ill the next day. Somone correct me if I'm wrong, but I always cook it fresh.

[Tim in Belgium]

Once it had cooled enough it went straight in the fridge. I'll find out in a few hours anyway!

I fitted new discs and pads yesterday (after buying a 20 quid bottle of threadlock :shock: ), get the new tyres put on tomorrow, pack Wednesday, put it all on the bike Thursday and check out the route, on the road Friday early doors.

I'll take a few photos Quiff, don't worry.
