Bruno made this risotto from the Silver Spoon a while back, there are very few ingredients so I was a bit sceptical as to whether it would be tasty enough. It was nice but not bursting with flavour, I think the key to this risotto is definitely a good home-made stock bursting with flavour, a stock cube just doesn’t cut it as there is no parmesan to add extra taste at the end as it’s a fish dish so if you’re making this recipe get chopping those carrots:)
First up, the most important thing whenever making a risotto is:
pour yourself a glass, now we’re ready this is what you need:
1.5 lt veg stock
40g butter
350g risotto rice
350ml prosecco
80g smoked salmon
what to do:
bring the stock to the boil.
melt half the butter, stir in the rice and cook, stirring until the grains are coated in butter:
pour in the wine and cook until evaporated, add a ladleful of stock and cook, stirring until it has been absorbed.
Continue adding the stock a ladleful at a time and stirring until each addition has been absorbed. This will take 18-20 mins. The princess was very interested in what was going on:
cream the remaining butter in a bowl and beat in the half the chopped salmon. About 2 minutes before the rice has finished cooking , stir in the butter mixture and the other half of the salmon:
and serve with another glass of prosecco:)
buon appetito..
Hi! I love your blog, the pics are always so yummy! I make an excellent risotto similar to that but with the addition of lemon (juice and grated rind) and cream… It’s packed full of flavour and I use the same sauce with pappardele sometimes…

Hi Liana welcome, it’s always nice to hear that people like the blog:) That actually sounds really good and probably gives it that extra bit of flavour that it needs. Thanks for the tip….
looks and sounds delicious!
I noticed that you’ve tagged this recipe ‘vegetarian’. It’s got fish in it!
That risotto looks delicious. I also cooked a smoked salmon risotto and it turned out to be extremely tasty. Have a look: http://eatmania.com/2009/10/24/smoked-salmon-risotto/
I will definitely try it again and add prosecco instead of white wine.
