Gourmet Smoked Salmon Risotto Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Smoked Salmon Risotto with Beetroot Puree

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share this unique and flavorful recipe for Smoked Salmon Risotto with Beetroot Puree. The combination of creamy risotto, smoky salmon, and vibrant beetroot puree creates a delicious dish that’s perfect for a fancy dinner at home or a special occasion.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• arborio rice (300g)
• shallots (2, finely chopped)
• garlic cloves (2, minced)
• white wine (150ml)
• chicken broth (1L)
• smoked salmon slices (200g)
• beetroot (3, boiled and peeled)
• butter (50g)
• parmesan cheese (50g, grated)
• fresh dill (for garnish)

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• blender
• grater
• knife

Start by heating the chicken broth in a saucepan over low heat. In another saucepan, melt butter and sauté the shallots and garlic until translucent. Add the arborio rice and cook for a few minutes until the grains are coated with butter. Pour in the white wine and stir until absorbed.

Begin adding ladles of warm chicken broth to the rice mixture, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, blend the boiled beetroot with a splash of water until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces.

Once the risotto is ready, stir in the grated parmesan cheese and smoked salmon. Serve the risotto on a plate with a dollop of beetroot puree on top. Garnish with fresh dill for a pop of color and freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, and it serves 4 people. Each serving weighs about 300g, with an approximate calorie count of 400 per serving.

One unique tip for this dish is to drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the top before serving. It adds a touch of acidity that complements the richness of the risotto and smoked salmon perfectly.
