Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Put the leeks in a large ovenproof roasting dish. Dot with the butter, season, and roast for 10 mins, stirring halfway through, until just softened.
  2. Meanwhile, put the stock cubes in a large jug and pour over 900ml (1 1/2pt) boiling water. Stir well, until the cubes have dissolved. Remove the roasting dish from the oven. Stir the rice through the leeks, and then pour over the hot stock. Carefully cover the dish with foil, and return to the oven for a further 35 mins, or until the rice is tender.
  3. Remove from the oven and stir in the cheese and 200ml (1/3pt) freshly boiled water, until creamy. Fold in the salmon, then scatter over the chives and season to taste. Serve with lemon wedges and steamed veg, if you like.
