Red salmon & watercress rissotto
Ingredients , for 2 people
Arborio rice....I expresso coffee cup per person ( you can get this rice at most supermarkets)
Tin of red salmon ....about 210 grams will make enough for 2
1 bunch of fresh watercress roughly chopped .... use as much as you like
I tablespoon of marscapone cheese ..... any other cream cheese like Philadelphia is fine.
I small onion finely chopped.
half a litre of hot fish stock ( I use Knorr but any will do).... you can use a glass of white wine too and reduce the stock by the same amount
1 good tablespoon of olive oil.
Method
Flake the salmon and keep to one side.
Put the oil in a saucepan with the onion until it is soft but not brown & then stir in the rice so it is coated by the oil.
If using wine add to the pan and cook slowly till it is absorbed. Then add the stock a ladle at a time till absorbed but not dry.
Cook for around 20 mins stirring often until the rice is soft and looks like it is in a creamy thick sauce. season to taste.
Stir in the salmon flakes & the cream cheese & then add the watercress.
I serve it in warm bowls ( and sometimes eat it with a spoon
)
Adjust the measures if you have more or less than 2 to feed.
Hope you like it!
