An unusual, delicately flavoured, fish risotto. The trick to risotto, is allowing the rice to completely absorb each addition of stock. from Kitchen Classics : The Italian Kitchen Ingredients:
60 g butter |

1 garlic clove, crushed |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
330 g risotto rice (arborio) |

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon snipped chives |
1 tablespoon chopped dill |
