Ingredients
  • 2 litres chicken or vegetable stock Have a bit extra just in case. Don't use fish stock as it will be too strong

  • 2 garlic cloves garlic cloves - finely chopped
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 400 g arborio rice

  • 110 g frozen peas
  • 4 boneless skinless salmon fillet, cut into bit size cubes

Instructions
  1. Bring the stock to the boil.
  2. Heat the oil in a wide heavy based pan - add the shallots and garlic and cook for a few minutes without colouring.
  3. Increase the heat, add half of the butter and when melted add the rice and stir until all the grains are coated and warm.
  4. Add the wine and stir until absorbed. Add the sprigs of thyme.
  5. Start adding the stock, ladle by ladle, allowing each ladle to be absorbed into the rice.
  6. After about 10 minutes add the diced salmon and continue cooking - stirring gently to avoid breaking up the salmon.

  8. Scatter over the spring onions and remaining thyme leaves along with a grinding of freshly ground black pepper.
