Ingredients for the Smoked Mackerel, Spinach and Pea Risotto
- 75g unsalted butter
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 400g risotto rice

- 280g smoked mackerel

Equipment
Cooking Method
- Heat the butter in the sauté pan and then fry the onions for five minutes until softened. Stir in the risotto rice and mix with the butter for a couple of minutes before adding the white wine. Keep stirring until most of the alcohol has disappeared.
- Add about half a litre of the fish stock to the pan and then let it gently simmer for 15 minutes. Add the next half litre and season with salt and pepper before adding the remainder of the stock.
- When most of the stock has been absorbed by the rice, add the peas and cook them for a few minutes.
- Peel the skin away from the mackerel and tear it into pieces. Then, add the mackerel to the risotto and cook it for a couple of minutes.
- Finally, add the spinach and let it wilt a bit before taking it off the bbq.
- Serve immediately, garnish with the spring onions and add parmesan cheese if you think it needs additional flavour.
