1.

Sauté the onion on olive oil. Add rice and sauté until it turns translucent. Add garlic and white wine. Simmer the rice for 2 minutes on low heat for the alcohol to cook out.

2.

When the rice starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a little of the fish stock at a time, not all at once.

3.

When the rice is almost cooked, add prawns, samphire, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the butter and grated hard semi-fat cheese into the risotto- Mix well to get the creamy texture of the risotto. Slowly roast the sea bass fillets in a pan. Serve a plate of risotto with fried sea bass fillets placed over it. Drizzle olive oil over it and decorate as you wish. Samphire, also known as sea fennel, is a plant which grows on rocks or in the sand near the sea. While cooking, you have to add a bit of warm fish stock at the time to the risotto to make it creamier and more delicious. Instead of hard semi-fat cheese, you can use Grana Padano cheese or some other hard cow cheese. You can serve dry or semi-dry white wine with the meal.
