Smoked haddock & leek risotto

Smoked haddock & leek risotto

The trick to perfect creamy leeks in this risotto is to cook them to a melting tenderness before adding the rice

Method

  1. Put the haddock in a heatproof dish and just cover with boiling water. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 10 minutes. Flake into decent-sized chunks.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil and a knob of butter in a wide shallow pan then add the leeks. Cook slowly for 10 minutes until completely softened. Turn up the heat, add the rice and stir to coat the grains. Pour in the wine and stir until absorbed. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring each lot in, until the rice is just tender and creamy (you might not need to use all the stock). Stir in the haddock and chives and serve.

Know-how

Look for pale yellow, natural-coloured smoked haddock rather than the bright yellow dyed stuff.

    This is a fantastic recipe. I have varied it by adding a handful of peeled king prawns which add a little colour as well as enhancing the flavour. This is now one of my favourites!
