Artichoke
and Mushroom Risotto
6-7 cups light chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups sliced chestnut mushrooms
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1 x 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
10 ounces salmon, cut into strips
salt and pepper
Bring the stock to a boil and keep simmering. Heat
the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add half the
butter and fry the onion until soft. Add the mushrooms
to the onions and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes
or until soft. Stir in the rice and cook until transparent.
Gradually stir in the stock, waiting for one ladleful
to be absorbed before adding the next. Stir constantly.
When nearly all the stock has been added, stir in
the artichoke hearts and salmon. Continue stirring
gently.
When the rice is soft to the bite and the salmon
cooked through, remove the pan from the heat. Stir
in the remaining butter and season to taste. Cover
and leave to stand for 3 minutes before serving.
