Easy Smoked Haddock Risotto Recipes

EASY SMOKED HADDOCK RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C.
• Melt HALF of the butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks, cook over a medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes until starting to soften.
• Meanwhile, put The Sauce Fish Co. foil bag into the oven on a baking sheet and follow the cooking instructions.
• Add the rice to the saucepan and cook, stirring for 1 - 2 minutes.
• Gradually add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring all the time. Try to add the next ladle when the one before has been absorbed.
• Do the same with the milk when the stock is all gone. This whole process will take 15 - 20 minutes. The rice should still have some 'bite' and texture to not be overcooked.
• Remove the fish from the oven when the cooking time is up.
• Take the risotto off the heat, add plenty of salt and pepper, the peas and the remaining butter. Break up the fish and stir through too (the heat in the risotto will just warm the peas through).
• You can either stir through the sauce of the fish, or pour over when you serve.
• Top with fresh chives.

SMOKED HADDOCK RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put the cold stock and haddock in a pan, and bring to a simmer. Leave to simmer for 3 minutes, then lift the fish out of the pan carefully using a slotted spoon and break into flakes using a fork. Leave the stock gently simmering at the back of the stove.
• Put the olive oil, 20g/¾oz butter, onion, parsley stalks and a pinch of salt in a large, deep saucepan or flameproof casserole. Cook over a medium-low heat until the onion is soft and starting to turn translucent. Add the rice and stir so every grain is coated with the oil and butter.
• Add the wine and let it evaporate. Make a note of the time, and start adding the vegetable stock one ladle at a time, stirring the rice attentively and vigorously until all the liquid is absorbed, before adding the next ladleful. Continue adding the stock ladle by ladle, adding the flaked haddock after 16 minutes, working on the principle the cooking time will be 17-20 minutes depending on the rice. Keep tasting. It is ready when the rice is plump and firm but without any chalky bite. The risotto should be soft, fluid and creamy.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining butter, parsley leaves and lemon zest, then serve.

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the butter in a large ovenproof dish over a medium heat. Cook the leek for 4-5 mins, stirring regularly, until just tender. Add the rice and stir for a further 2 mins.
• Add the stock and milk, bring to the boil and bubble for 5 mins before sitting the haddock on top. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in the oven for 18 mins until the rice is tender.
