Ingredients

  • 1 spoon Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 30 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 400 g Rice, white, short grain

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 9 dl Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 0.5 dl Sweet cream

  • 1 spoon Juice, lemon

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 6 twig Basil, fresh

  • 150 g Fish, salmon, smoked

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Rinse the basil sprigs under running water and dry them. Tear the leaves from the sprigs and finely chop them. Pour the stock into a pot and slowly heat it over moderate heat. Once the stock comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat.

  2. Place a new pot on the stove and heat the oil and butter in it. Add the onion to the pot and sauté it while stirring until it softens. Add the rice and quickly toast it while stirring until it becomes translucent. Then add the garlic, mix everything well, and pour in a ladle of hot stock. Stir well and wait for the liquid to come to a boil. Continue stirring the risotto and gradually adding the stock for the next 20 minutes.

  3. When the risotto is nicely creamy but the rice is still slightly firm, stir in the sour cream. Remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the risotto rest for 4 minutes.

  4. Cut the smoked salmon fillets into small pieces. Before serving, mix the lemon juice and basil into the risotto. Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste, but be careful as we will also add the salty pieces of smoked salmon.

  5. Serve the risotto on plates and top it with the pieces of smoked salmon. Serve the prepared risotto.
