Smoked Mackerel Risotto

I'd actually forgotten how good this recipe is, and so simple too, plus to my amazement, both girls ate it! Result.

Ingredients
1 onion chopped
1 clove of garlic chopped
250g risotto rice
Glass of White wine
Chicken stock
250g smoked mackerel- the peppered one works a treat in this.
Big handful of frozen peas
100g creme fraiche

Gently fry the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes, then add the rice and the wine. Once the wine has been absorbed then start adding the chicken stock bit by bit. I know you're supposed to stand and stir risottos continuously to make them creamy, but you're adding the creme fraiche at the end that does the job for you.
Once the rice starts looking like it's getting near done- about fifteen minutes in, chuck in your peas. Then once the rice is cooked, flake in the mackerel and stir in the creme fraiche. And that's it, all done.
Sorry there's no photos, but it just kind of looks like a risotto!
