Salmon And Pea Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the prawns, keeping the heads and shells. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the prawn shells and heads with the sliced chilli until they have toasted and changed colour. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer.
• Bring the stock to the boil and keep on a low simmer. In a separate pan, melt half the butter over a medium heat. Stir in the onions and sweat gently for 8-10 mins until soft but not coloured, stirring occasionally. Stir the rice into the onions until completely coated in the butter, then stir continuously until the rice is shiny and the edges of the grain start to look transparent.
• Pour in the wine and simmer until totally evaporated. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring with each addition until absorbed. Stir through the prawns and peas. Continue adding stock a ladleful at a time and stirring the rice over a low heat for 25-30 mins, until the rice is cooked al dente (with a slightly firm, starchy bite in the middle). The risotto should be creamy and slightly soupy. When you draw a wooden spoon through it, there should be a wake that holds for a few moments but not longer. Cook until the prawns change colour. Stir through the chopped chilli, lemon juice and remaining olive oil. Let the risotto rest for a few mins, then serve, topped with the lemon zest.

Steps:

• Bring broth or fish stock to boil.
• Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot in which rice will be cooked. Saute onion and garlic in pot until it begins to soften, but not color.
• Add rice and stir to coat well.
• Stir in wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until wine is absorbed.
• Add tomatoes, with the herbs, stirring until liquid evaporates.
• Stir in the heated broth one cup at a time. Stir often, until liquid is absorbed. Repeat, stirring, until just before rice is ready. Rice is cooked when it is creamy but firm in the center.
• With the last liquid addition, stir in the salmon, cooking until salmon is almost ready. Then stir in peas and cook until most of liquid is absorbed and peas are heated through.
• Season with pepper.

Steps:

• Fry the onions gently in a little olive oil but don't brown.
• Add garlic and chilli, fry till softened. Then add the arborio rice, thyme and butter and ensure that the rice is thoroughly coated with the butter mix, do not allow the rice to burn or brown.
• Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and reduce till there is just a small amount of wine left in the pan.
• Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add some of the zest.
• On a moderate heat add one ladleful at a time of the chicken stock (made from stock cubes will suffice), stirring frequently and not allowing the mix to dry out. Keep one or two ladlefuls of the stock back for the last bit.
• Turn heat down to very low and add a small pack of smoked salmon sliced (about 4oz) sliced into strips, add a tiny bit more stock, then add some fine green beans or baby asparagus and some fresh peas, add last bit of stock, cook for a couple more mins until the vegetables are just cooked, with a little bit of a bite remaining and add lots of fresh chives, lots of fresh ground black pepper and 4 tbsp of creme fraiche. Stir gently.
• Add a final squeeze of lime juice, add parmesan, check seasoning and serve. The risotto should still be slightly wet, not sticky.

Steps:

• Place stock in a large pot on medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Keep hot.
• In another pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Saute shallots until translucent (do not brown).
• Add rice and cook for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring until grains are coated with oil.
• Add wine, stir gently and cook until liquid is absorbed.
• Add 1/2 cup of hot stock at a time, bring to a simmer and stir gently; wait until each addition is nearly all absorbed before adding more. Do not stir too often or too hard, as you risk breaking the grains.
• Continue this process until the risotto has cooked approximately 15 minutes. (The ristto should be al dente (firm, but tender), moist, almost creamy.
• Gently stir in Parmesan, butter, and mascarpone.
• Fold in peas and parsley.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper, serve on warm plates.
