Lobster

Saffron Risotto

Method

Preparing the Lobster

1

Cook the Lobster

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool. Once cool, remove the meat from the claws and tails, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

2

Sauté the Lobster

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add lobster meat, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Saffron Risotto

3

Prepare the Broth

In a saucepan, heat the broth and add the saffron. Keep warm over low heat.

4

Sauté Onions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

5

Cook the Rice

Add Arborio rice to the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed.

6

Add Broth Gradually

Begin adding the warm saffron broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle. Repeat for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is creamy and al dente.

7

Finish the Risotto

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
