Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop the brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a large drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the diced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-6 min or until softened but not coloured
2
While the onion softens, dissolve the Knorrvegetable stock cube[s]and saffron in 700ml [1.4L] boiled water
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
3
Once the onion has softened, stir the arborio rice and chopped garlic into the pan and cook for 1 min, stirring to coat the grains in the oil
Add the Chinese rice wine and cook for 30 sec further
4
Add 1/3 of the stock and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until it has absorbed into the rice
Continue to add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring more or less continuously for 20-25 min, until all the stock is absorbed and the rice is cooked
5
While the rice is cooking, cut the lemon[s] in half
Grate the cheddar cheese
Pat the hakefillets dry with kitchen paper and season both sides with a pinch of salt
6
Heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the hake, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 min or until the skin has started to crisp
Flip the fish and cook for 1-2 min further or until cooked through
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily
7
Once done, remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the gratedcheese and a very large knob of butter
Add the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon and season very generously with pepper (use much more than you normally would!) – this is your saffron risotto
Tip: Add a splash of water if the risotto is looking a little dry
Cut the remaininglemon into wedges
