Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the saffron threads and let steep.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is lightly golden.
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the dry white wine and cook until it has mostly evaporated, stirring frequently.
Cook the Risotto
Begin adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Add Lobster and Cheese
Stir in the lobster meat and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the lobster is heated through.
Serve
Plate the risotto and garnish with chopped chives. Enjoy your Lobster Risotto!
