Risotto ai Frutti di Mare
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 cups seafood or chicken broth
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, calamari)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the seafood or chicken broth over medium heat until simmering.
- In a separate large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.
- Add 1 cup of Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat the rice with the oil, onion, and garlic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes translucent around the edges.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the hot broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- While the risotto is cooking, in a separate pan, sauté the mixed seafood and cherry tomatoes in a little olive oil until the seafood is cooked through and the tomatoes are softened.
- Once the risotto is ready, stir in the sautéed seafood and tomatoes, along with the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the risotto from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Serve the Risotto ai Frutti di Mare hot and enjoy!
