Method
Copy TextTo make the risotto: Heat the oil in a wide, shallow saucepan over a gentle heat. Add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes until the onion has softened. Then add the garlic and rice and stir well to combine. Gradually add the stock, a ladleful at a time. As the stock is absorbed add more and stir regularly until all the stock is used and the rice is cooked. Add a little extra stock or water if the rice is not fully cooked. This will take about 15 minutes.
Stir through the smoked salmon and spinach. Continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
Taste and season with a little salt and pepper.
To serve: Turn off the heat, stir through the cheese and sprinkle over the basil leaves. Serve straight away with a green salad.
