Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the smoked haddock fillets in a ceramic baking dish and cover with the milk. Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish is almost cooked, then carefully remove the fillets to a plate. Reserve the milk in a jug.
- Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, heat the oil and add the onion and leeks. Gently cook for 5 minutes until starting to soften, then add the rice. Gently fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Pour in the wine and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes, then add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently as it reduces. Once all the stock has been incorporated, start adding the reserved milk a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently as it reduces, until the rice is tender to the bite. You may not need all the milk.
- When the rice is nearly cooked, stir in the wilted spinach, lemon zest and juice, then flake in the smoked haddock. Season generously with pepper (the fish will be salty so taste before adding salt) and sprinkle over the grated parmesan.
