Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold in the crème fraîche and spinach, season with plenty of black pepper, then cover the pan again and leave to rest out of the oven for 3 mins before serving - the steam will soften the spinach.

Creamy leek risotto with bacon

Not a fan of fish? Make the risotto as above, leaving out the smoked haddock. At the end, stir in 1 bunch finely chopped spring onions instead of the spinach, then serve in bowls topped with crisp bacon rashers.

    A really easy, tasty meal. Ideal for preparing if you have children running around and can't stand and do the stirring normally needed for risotto. It was the first time I've cooked one in the oven and we all really enjoyed the results. Will definitely cook again.

    Did this on Saturday night, absolutely gorgeous and easy. Sprinkled grated parmesan on the top and served with a lemon wedge. Glass of cold Chardonnay and lemon tiramasu as a dessert. Wonderful dinner and would have been happy to have eaten it at a resturant!

    I was slightly disappointed, came out rather like rice pudding rather than risotto. It tasted nice enough, but can't say I will be rushing to make this again.

    Was anyone else left with too much liquid in the dish once cooked? Very watery... but tasty!

    I am always ready to try fish recipes. I made this but only had semi skimmed milk. I have not tried it with full fat milk but I was more than happy with the result and can recommend. Very very tasty!

    Really great and a definite keeper. Also used semi-skimmed milk and reduced fat creme fraiche and it was lovely & creamy. Exchanged frozen peas for the baby spinach as Sainsbury's had run out of latter! Again, worked well and I'm more likely to have peas in than spinach. Just added them 6 mins before end of cooking/standing time.

    Enjoyed this simple recipe and used black squid ink risotto rice and cream instead of creme Fraiche. It came out lovely and creamy but very salty which I think may have been my stock so I will use a weaker veg stock next time and not cubes.

    I have never made risotto before so thought i would make a 'cheat' one first and was very pleasantly suprised. The whole family loved it especiallly my 18 month old!!! I did add some Parmesan to it at the same time as the creme fraiche and spinach. This is definately a 'make again' recipe
