Method

  1. Melt the butter in a wide shallow pan and gently cook the onion until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the risotto rice and cook for 2 minutes, coating the rice in the onion and butter. Stir in the wine, and cook until nearly evaporated. Add the hot stock a ladle at a time, stirring continuously and keeping the heat high enough for the rice to gently simmer while adding the stock. Keep adding stock bit by bit until the rice is cooked but still has a slight bite and a creamy consistency. This should take around 15-20 minutes
  2. Stir in the smoked haddock, dill, flat-leaf parsley and Parmesan. Leave to stand for 3 minutes: the heat of the risotto will cook the haddock. Serve in warm bowls with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprig of dill.

    Made this last night and it was very good. Would be great for a dinner party, the flavours are great. I put extra dill in it as I love dill - goes really well with the smoked fish. Even my husband who is not a risotto fan lapped it up and finished it before me. Goes well with a white or a red wine. Yum Yum

    I've made this a few times now and the taste is sensational. Don't miss out on any of the ingredients - they all work wonderfully together. The dish feels special but is easy to make - very easy in fact. I wondered if the haddock would cook properly but it did. Would be lovely with a lemony pudding.

    First risotto Ive ever made and was so easy, would for sure make again. Had Arbroath smokies to use and turned out a perfect dish.

    Amazing flavours. However, the quantities are a little on the small side for 4 people, more like a good helping for 2 people.
