                    I saw this on a cooking show today, and made it for dinner tonight. I made a couple of changes, namely substituting smoked trout for the smoked salmon, dill for the chervil and I used regular veg stock and added freshly cracked black pepper to the finished dish. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 tablespoons butter (plus extra) (optional)  |  
                                                1 chopped onion  |  
                                                1 cup arborio rice  |  
                                                3 cups reduced-sodium vegetable stock (total of 750ml)  |  
                                                1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese  |  
                                                1/2 cup fresh mixed herbs, such as basil, parsley & chervil  |  
                                                200 g smoked salmon  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Melt butter in casserole dish in microwave set on high for 2 minutes. 2. Stir in chopped onion and microwave on high for 2 minutes. 3.
