Directions:Lobster Risotto:
Add chicken stock and lobster shells to saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add saffron.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a casserole pan or skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, carrots and celery. Cook until vegetables start to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice and season with salt and pepper. Cook rice, stirring occasionally to thoroughly coat rice with oil and butter, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the white wine. Cook until pan is dry and almost all the wine has evaporated. Add one ladle of simmering stock, let cook, stirring often, until the stock is completely absorbed into the rice and the pan is dry. Continue to add one ladleful's of stock at a time and letting the stock reduce until the pan is dry each time. Cook until rice is tender yet still firm, about 18 to 20 minutes.
Add blanched asparagus and lobster pieces to heat through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Be careful not to overcook the lobster. Remove risotto from heat. Add splash of whipping cream and 2 tablespoon of butter. Finish with herbs and freshly grated parmesan. Stir to combine. Plate risotto and garnish with lobster medallions, parsley sprigs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Variation: If don’t want to garnish the risotto with lobster medallions, poach lobsters until only half cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Finish cooking the lobster in the risotto – this will give just a little extra lobster flavour to the risotto. |
