Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onions and jalapeños, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding more broth. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Crabmeat

    When the rice is creamy and al dente, gently fold in the crabmeat, butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
