Utensils
•Pot with Lid
Cooking Steps
1
- Add 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, remove the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
- Trim the carrot, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces.
3
- Place a separate large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, cook the carrot and leek until softened, 4-5 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pick the thyme leaves and discard the stalks.
- Add the thyme, stock and 100ml water (double for 4p).
- Cover and simmer until the veg is tender, 4-6 mins.
4
- Meanwhile, pat the diced salmon to remove excess moisture. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
- Season with salt and pepper.
5
- Once the veg is cooked, add the creme fraiche and mix well to combine.
- Scatter the salmon cubes over the stew.
- Cover and cook for another 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
- Quarter the lemon.
- Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
6
- Stir a knob of butter through the rice, fluffing it up as you go. Divide between plates.
- Top with the leek and salmon stew.
- Add a squeeze of lemon.
- Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
