Lobster Risotto with Truffle Oil Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs lobster tails, shells removed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or seafood broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or seafood broth to a simmer. Keep it warm over low heat.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped lobster pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn opaque. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the shallot and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the butter, shallot, and garlic mixture. Cook 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.
- Ladle in 1 cup of the warm broth into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the broth is absorbed. Repeat this process with the remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked lobster pieces, grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the lobster risotto among serving plates. Drizzle each portion with truffle oil and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
