Smoked Mackerel Risotto
Description
This is a classic risotto brought to life with the smokey flavour of the mackerel and complemented by the delicate flavour of saffron.
Ingredients:
- 2 fillets of Isle of Skye Smokehouse smoked mackerel
- 1 cup of risotto rice
- Small pinch of saffron
- Knob of butter
- 2 tablespoons of frozen peas
- ½ finely chopped white onion
- 2 sprigs of finely chopped parsley
- ½ pint of heated vegetable stock
- Splash of white wine
Method:
Splash of olive oil in sauce pan and add onion. Keep onion moving until soft, not coloured. Add risotto rice, stir until risotto has good glaze of oil then stir in saffron and white wine. Add a small amount of vegetable stock and leave on low heat until most of moisture has dissolved; repeat this process of adding small amounts of stock gradually. Repeat until risotto is slightly undercooked (al dente). This is the point when the peas and mackerel should be added. Just pour in the peas and flake the mackerel in. Once given a good mix, add the parsley and butter which gives the risotto a lovely glaze.
