Seafood Made Simple: Smoked haddock risotto is a comforting family meal

This weekend’s recipe is a dish I love to make at home

Risotto has been a dish I have loved and cooked since I was 16. It was Jamie Oliver’s pea, mint, and feta risotto that I cooked most. Easily accessible and economical ingredients were perfect for my young aspiring chef self who spent much of her time burning the base of pots, scrambling custards and scattering flour all over my mum’s kitchen.

A dish I go back to time and time again, risotto is excellent for the family meal of our 12-person team at Goldie. Sometimes it’s an out-there pearl barley and kimchi risotto to nourish us before service, other times a more straightforward arborio-based lunch.
