  1. TAKING STOCK

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot for the risotto over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and picked thyme for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Stir through the grated garlic and rice for 1-2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until almost completely reduced. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been absorbed. Repeat this process for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente.

  2. FLIP & FRY THE FISH

    Pat the trout dry with some paper towel. Place a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trout, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Flip and fry for a further 30-60 seconds or until cooked through to your preference. In the final minute, baste the trout with a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan and season. Cover to keep warm.

  3. ADD THE BITS & BOBS

    When the risotto is cooked, stir through the peas, rinsed spinach, grated Italian-style cheese and a generous knob of butter (optional). Add the lemon juice (to taste) and season.

  4. NEVER DOUBT THE TROUT!

    Dish up the creamy risotto. Top with the trout fillet - skin-side up to keep it crispy! Drizzle over any remaining lemon juice (to taste). Well done, Chef!
