Lobster Risotto
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or seafood broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the butter, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes translucent around the edges.
- Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is absorbed by the rice.
- Add the saffron threads to the skillet and a ladleful of warm broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding the broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped lobster meat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the lobster is heated through and the risotto is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the lobster risotto hot and enjoy!
