Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Prepare the stock.
  • Crush or mince the garlic and slice the onion into half-rings.
  • Peel and thinly slice the parsnip.
Fry the aromatics
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil with a knob of butter in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the garlic and onion for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the parsnip and fry for another 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the risotto rice and toast the grains for 1 minute, then deglaze with two thirds of the white wine vinegar.
Make the risotto
3
  • Pour in a third of the stock and allow to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly. 
  • Repeat with the rest of the stock, adding it in two more batches.
  • The risotto is done when the rice is soft but still al dente. This should take around 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Add extra water and cook longer if you'd prefer the risotto to be less al dente.
Fry the fish
4
  • Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the fish for 3 minutes on its skin.
  • Flip the fish and fry for another 3 minutes on the other side. 
Make the salad
5
  • Core and dice the apple in the meantime.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the rest of the white wine vinegar.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the apple and the lamb's lettuce, then toss well to combine with the dressing.
Serve
6
  • Shortly before serving, stir the cheese and the basil crème into the risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the risotto on plates with everything else alongside.
