Hi guys hows it going welcome to my virgin kitchen.
Now today we thought we would set ourselves a little bit of a challenge.
We know how much you all love mug cakes so we decided to do something a little bit different
and make a three course meal, yes that�s right three courses, by only using a mug and
a microwave.
Yes and it can be done and this is how we got on.
So first up we made our cheesy garlic bread so grab yourself a mug and pour in flour,
followed by your baking powder, followed by your bicarbonate of soda and then your salt.
Then your milk, then your oil, and then give it a good mix together.
Add in some garlic powder followed by a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, and finish up with some
gorgeous basil.
Now you place this in the microwave for 1 minute and then out comes a gorgeous cheesy
garlic bread in a mug., fantastic.
Well it was only about half the size of the mug we used but its only a starter so lets
not complain.
It was then time to make our pancetta and spinach risotto for our main course.
So grab yourself another mug and add in your oil, pancetta, chopped onion, and garlic paste.
Bung this in the microwave for 1 minute and out it comes and give it a good stir.
You are then going to add in your rice followed by 100 mls of stock.
You then want to place your mug on a microwavable shallow dish.
This is just in case and you will see what will happen, just in case the stock does boil
over the mug and saves your microwave says it keeps your microwave clean stops it going
everywhere.
Place this in the microwave for 2 minutes.
When this is done give it a good stir and then add in another 100 mls of stock.
Microwave again for 2 minutes and you are going to keep going like this 100mls of stock
followed by 2 minutes in the microwave until all your stock has been used up.
When its done give it a really good stir and then add in a couple of handfuls of spinach
and let it stand for a minute or so just to let the spinach wilt into your risotto.
Give it a good sprinkling of parmesan and another mix together and a good grind of black
pepper to taste, and there you have it your risotto is finished.
And for our final course we come on to a gorgeous chocolate pudding.
So get yourself your third mug and you are going to add in your chocolate chips followed
by your butter and you are going to give this a blast in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Once you get it out of the microwave it will be nice and melted so give it a good stir
together to get it all incorporated in to one nice chocolatey brown colour.
You are then going to add in your caster sugar your flour, vanilla extract, baking powder,
and your egg.
And give this a good good stir until the mixture is really nice and smooth.
At first it will be extremely lumpy but keep stirring you want it really nice and smooth.
Pop this in the microwave for about 70 seconds and keep a really close eye on it because
with ours it kind of went ginormous.
We looked in the microwave and the pudding was popping out and exploding everywhere.
It looked amazing so just be careful watch out you dont want to suddenly hear a massive
bang in your microwave door explode off or something crazy like that.
Finish up with a good lashing of squirty cream followed by a drizzle of chocolate sauce and
then you are ready to enjoy.
But just remember our microwave was 800 watts so adjust the times according to your microwave
temperature.
So now it was time to tuck in to our delicious three course microwavable mug meal.
First up was the cheesy garlic bread which kind of, it was ok, it did remind me a little
bit of dumpling but for microwavable bread it worked and it tasted good.
Next it was the risotto now I did re microwave this for a little bit and I think this might
of enhanced the flavour just slightly cos the parmesan just seemed to ooze into the
chicken stock and it tasted really really good.
I was so surprised it was delicious.
And finally it was time for the chocolate pudding.
It was heaven in a mouthful it was so so good.
So there you go we wanted to set ourselves a bit of a challenge today and it seemed to
work we pulled it off.
We made a three course meal using a mug and a microwave.
