Smoked risotto with liquorice and herring – Gordon Ramsay’s version

My smoked risotto it will surprise you, with the smoky notes of Carnaroli and herring sweetened and softened by liquorice powder and wild fennel.

This smoked risotto was born in a completely random way, as often happens in my kitchen. Originally it was a creamy pumpkin risotto with liquorice and raw red prawns. A variation of one of the recipes you can find on Spices bookwhich I created in collaboration with Il Cucchiaio d’Argento.

But then I was a bit saturated with pumpkin and the fresh prawns I had found didn’t convince me. Plus I had this in my hands smoked carnaroli rice and I wanted to create a story of smoky sensations and evocations… This is why I chose to leave a mark on the woody and smoky note, using herring fillets and balancing their flavor with liquorice powder.

A fish risotto without cheese yes, but with lots of butter and the fresh note of wild fennel.
