There's nothing we love more than a warming bowl of risotto on a cold day, but they do require a little patience and a lot of stirring to achieve that perfect texture. Luckily, this risotto recipe lets the oven work its magic, leaving you with plenty of hands-off time to lay the table – or pour a glass of chilled white wine.
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof pan (which has a tight-fitting lid) over a medium heat. Fry onion for 5min until beginning to soften, then add the garlic and risotto rice, and fry for 2min until the rice begins to turn translucent.
Step 2
Pour in the hot stock, stirring well. Cover pan with lid and cook in the oven for 25min until the rice is just tender and the stock has been absorbed. Carefully remove pan from the oven and stir through the haddock and peas. Re-cover with lid and return to oven for 8min or until the fish is flaking.
Step 3
Check the consistency - add a little more stock if it's too thick. Sprinkle over the chives and check the seasoning. Drizzle over some extra olive oil, if you like, and serve immediately.
