- 50g butter
- 275ml (10fl oz) whipping cream
- 5 potato, preferably Maris Pipers
- Splash of rapeseed oil for frying
- 100g (4oz) cubed pancetta
- 50g (2oz) butter
- 2 shallots peeled and very finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped and grated
- 50g (2oz) freshly grated parmesan
- Approx. 2 ladles white chicken stock
- 1 tbsp each chopped parsley, snipped chives and chopped tarragon
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 450g (1lb) vine-ripened tomatoes
- 75g (3oz) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- Salt and pepper
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 15g butter
- Chive oil (optional)
Method
For the sauce: take half the tomatoes, quarter them, remove the seeds and put in a liquidiser.
Now add the remaining tomatoes, which have also been quartered, but this time do not remove the seeds. Blend thoroughly.
Push the pureed tomatoes through a fine sieve into a pan.
Place the pan on a low heat and warm. Whisk in the butter, add the sugar and season to taste.
To make the potato risotto: add the potatoes to boiling water for 5 minutes and drain.
In a deep sided pan, saute the shallots and garlic and butter until softened but not coloured.
Add the pancetta and continue to fry.
Add the cooked and drained potato, fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the light chicken stock and continue to cook and allow to reduce a little.
Add the cream followed by the Parmesan and herbs.
Warm the pan through, then serve.
To cook the asparagus: add water to a pan and bring to the boil. Cook the asparagus for about 5 minutes or until tender.
Drain and add a little butter to finish.
Next cook the trout. Heat the butter in a pan over a low heat and melt. Fry the fish fillets gently for about 4 minutes (turning regularly).
To serve, place the risotto on the plate with the trout on top. Arrange the asparagus on the plate and spoon over some sauce.
