minutesIngredients
1 pound lobster meat
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups chicken stock
0.5 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
to taste salt and pepper
Directions
- Warm the chicken stock in a saucepan over low heat, keeping it hot but not boiling throughout the cooking process.
- In a large pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
- Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes until the edges of the rice become translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add white wine and stir continuously until absorbed by the rice, approximately 3 minutes.
- Begin adding warm chicken stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, and allow it to fully absorb before adding more.
- Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente, adding more stock as needed.
- Fold in lobster meat, lemon zest, and juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to incorporate flavors.
- Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Remove risotto from heat.
- Garnish with parsley before serving to enhance the color and flavor of the dish. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
