Method

  1. In a large pan, heat the oil and gently cook the leeks for 5 mins, or until soft.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate, lidded pan, heat the stock with 500ml water. Once the leeks are soft, stir in the rice and cook for a couple of mins, then pour in the hot stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 mins, stirring often, until the rice is al dente and the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. Stir in the haddock and soft cheese. Cover, reduce the heat and cook for 5-10 mins, until the fish is cooked through and the texture is to your liking. To serve, season with freshly ground black pepper.
