MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Salmon Risotto

Hello again,

For all you Salmon lovers here is a Risotto you are sure to love. I am not sure how smoked salmon would work but you never know unless you try. But I would start by using fresh salmon.

Salmon Risotto

2 tbsp (tablespoon) light oil
1 large onion thinly chopped, or spring onions white part only
½ cucumber peeled, seeded and chopped
2 cups Arborio or risotto rice
3 cups vegetable stock
½ cup white wine (optional)
450 g salmon fillet skinned and diced
3 tbsp fresh tarragon chopped

In saucepan heat oil add onions and cucumber cook until softened, do not brown.
Add rice, wine and stock, bring to boil then simmer for 10 minutes, stir occasionally, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Gently stir in the salmon and tarragon and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes.

Serve with a fresh green leafy salad.

Now you have an idea how to cook Risotto you can try various meats and vegetables combinations. Come up with your own ideas just remember to watch the liquid as you do not want your risotto runny or too dry, it should be moist or creamy.
