Nutritional values

Carrots help to protect the skin from damage caused by the sun; the secondary plant substance beta-carotene ensures this.

If you like, you can also add a knob of butter to the risotto instead of the cooking cream - for even more creaminess.

Preparation steps

1.

Peel onion and carrots, clean leek, wash and finely dice. Heat oil in a pot. Sauté vegetables for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add rice and sauté for 1 minute. Deglaze with lemon juice and cook, stirring, over low heat until the juice is almost completely absorbed. While stirring, gradually add the broth, letting the rice absorb it again and again, then add more; simmer for about 25-30 minutes until creamy.

2.

Meanwhile, grate Parmesan cheese; cut smoked salmon into strips. Wash basil, shake dry and pluck leaves.

3.

Fold the cream and Parmesan into the risotto and heat over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add about 3/4 of the salmon and basil to the risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange in bowls and add remaining salmon strips and remaining basil over risotto.
