Pistachio and smoked salmon risotto instructions
- Sauté onion in some oil. When softened, add the rice. Cook the rice stirring constantly for 1-2 mins. Then add the wine and let it evaporate. Cook for another 1-2 mins.
- Now add about 3/4 of the stock, should just be enough to cover the rice. Stir frequently following packet instructions. Total cooking time from now should be about 20 mins, adding more stock as necessary. With about 5 mins to go, add the salmon, I saved a little for decoration. Continue cooking.
- Right at the end of cooking time add butter. Stir for 1-2 mins until creamy. Serve with a little salmon on top and a good sprinkle of pistachio nuts 😊.
Take half of the smoked salmon and chop it fine. Add to remaining butter and cream thoroughly. Take the other half of the smoked salmon and coarsely chop it. About two minutes before the rice has finished cooking, add the butter/salmon mixture and the coarsely chopped salmon. Stir for another two minutes, until thoroughly incorporated and creamy.
