Instructions

  1. 1

    Poach the Lobster

    In a pot of simmering water, poach the lobster tails for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove from water and let cool. Extract the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broth

    In a separate pot, heat the chicken or seafood broth and keep it warm over low heat.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until absorbed.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish the Risotto

    Stir in the sweet peas, lobster meat, and mascarpone cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the risotto and top with roasted summer tomatoes and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
