Steps:
- Fry the onion in the oil for 5 mins. Add the rice and garlic, then cook for 2 mins, stirring continuously. Pour in a third of the stock and set the timer to 20 mins. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stock has been absorbed, then add half the rest of the stock and carry on cooking, stirring a bit more frequently, until that has been absorbed.
- Pour in the last of the stock, stir, then simmer until cooked and creamy. Take from the heat and add the chopped salmon, mascarpone, parsley and lemon zest. Grind in some black pepper, but don't add salt as the salmon will be salty enough. Leave for 5 mins to settle, then taste and add a little lemon juice if you like. Serve topped with reserved salmon (roughly torn) and some rocket.

SMOKED SALMON RISOTTO
I've finally been introduced to risotto, and am obsessed with it ... and I had some smoked salmon that needed to be used up. I found this recipe at http://culinariaitalia.wordpress.com (it's important to give credit where credit is due!). Boy, did this hit the spot .... this was so simple, and so very, very delicious.

Steps:
- Dice the onion(s) into small dice. Saute in 1 butter until golden.
- Add rice and stir thoroughly to coat; cook over medium-high heat for about two minutes.
- Add the wine, salt and dill to the rice/onion mixture.
- Heat vegetable stock in a separate pot. Using a large soup ladle, add one ladleful to the rice at a time, stirring constantly in between additions. (This is somewhere between half a cup and a cup of stock.) Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladleful. The whole process of adding liquid should take anywhere from 20-30 minutes.
- Take half of the smoked salmon and chop it fine. Add to remaining butter and cream thoroughly. Take the other half of the smoked salmon and coarsely chop it.
- About two minutes before the rice has finished cooking, add the butter/salmon mixture and the coarsely chopped salmon. Stir for another two minutes, until thoroughly incorporated and creamy. Add the parmesan and stir for another minute or two.

Steps:
- Fry the onions gently in a little olive oil but don't brown.
- Add garlic and chilli, fry till softened. Then add the arborio rice, thyme and butter and ensure that the rice is thoroughly coated with the butter mix, do not allow the rice to burn or brown.
- Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and reduce till there is just a small amount of wine left in the pan.
- Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add some of the zest.
- On a moderate heat add one ladleful at a time of the chicken stock (made from stock cubes will suffice), stirring frequently and not allowing the mix to dry out. Keep one or two ladlefuls of the stock back for the last bit.
- Turn heat down to very low and add a small pack of smoked salmon sliced (about 4oz) sliced into strips, add a tiny bit more stock, then add some fine green beans or baby asparagus and some fresh peas, add last bit of stock, cook for a couple more mins until the vegetables are just cooked, with a little bit of a bite remaining and add lots of fresh chives, lots of fresh ground black pepper and 4 tbsp of creme fraiche. Stir gently.
- Add a final squeeze of lime juice, add parmesan, check seasoning and serve. The risotto should still be slightly wet, not sticky.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients.
- Don't overcook the rice: Risotto is a delicate dish. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook the rice until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will add flavor to your risotto. Use a broth that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
- Add the ingredients gradually: Don't add all of the ingredients to the risotto at once. Add them gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Season to taste: Taste your risotto as you cook it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings until the risotto is flavorful to your liking.

Smoked salmon and lime risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and bright citrus notes, this risotto is sure to impress your guests. Follow the tips above to make the perfect smoked salmon and lime risotto every time.
