Method

  1. In a frying pan, gently fry the onion in the oil until softened. Tip in the risotto rice and cook for 2 mins, stirring continuously. Add a third of the stock, and simmer, gently stirring until the stock has been absorbed. Add half the remaining stock and carry on cooking, stirring a bit more, until that has been absorbed too.
  2. Tip in the final lot of stock and cook until creamy and the rice is just tender. Stir in the trout, mascarpone, lemon zest, most of the chives and some seasoning - it won't need too much salt. Cover and leave for 5 mins to rest. Finally season with a squeeze of lemon juice, divide between two bowls and top with the remaining chives. Great with a green salad on the side.

    This still shows a heading as: Trout risotto Spice paste adds a modern spin to classic roast pork and a cheap cut gives an impressive finish. I can't see where the roast pork comes in!!

    I has some smoked trout in the freezer, so this recipe caught my eye! I didn't have any marscapone so added a tbsp of cream cheese which needed using up. Was a good midweek supper.

    This was very tasty, I added some peas just to make it a little less stodgy and it worked well, also I only used the juice of a lemon- no zest and that was fine. It does take a while to cook but the flavours were great.
