This smoked fish and pea risotto is a classic. The smoky, slightly salty flavour of our smoked basa is perfectly accompanied by our sweet garden peas and spring onions. You'll get a perfectly creamy risotto without adding a drop of cream, and the oozing yolk from the poached egg will add a touch of indulgence. Smokin'!

Once hot, add the chopped spring onion and cook for 2-3 min or until it's softened slightly

Once the spring onion has softened, add the arborio rice and chopped garlic and cook for 1 min, stirring to coat the grains in oil

Continue to add the stock a little at a time, stirring continuously for 25-30 min or until the stock has been absorbed and the rice is cooked

Meanwhile, cut the smoked basa fillets into bite-size pieces

Step 9

Once the rice is almost cooked, add the garden peas and smoked basa to the rice and cook for 5-6 min or until the fish is cooked through and the peas are tender - this is your smoky fish risotto.
