Chef Philman George Ideas & Inspiration

risotto pesce

This awesome Mediterranean style risotto is topped with Sea Cuisine™ Mediterranean Glazed Haddock Portions. The fish comes ready to pop into the oven, pre-portioned and pre-glazed with Mediterranean spices.

This risotto recipe is made with prepared tomato soup instead of stock, to boost the Mediterranean flavour and colour.

Chef Hack: To intensify the flavour even more, use a prepared roasted tomato and red pepper bisque.  Yum!
