Asian risotto with lobster bisque:
Ingredients:
- ½ yellow onion- score the onions
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of dry Italian seasoning
(Thyme, Basil)
- 1 piece of garlic
- 1 cup precooked white rice
- ½ cup Sauvignon Blanc white wine
- note: do NOT add salt until the
risotto is done cooking
- 1/2 cup of miso soup stock
- 1/8 teaspoon of diced fresh
jalapeños
- 1/2 cup of readymade lobster
bisque
- 2 tablespoons of butter (cut into
four -½ tablespoon blocks)
- 4 tablespoons of minced mushrooms
- 1/8 teaspoon of Italian parsley
or cilantro
- Do NOT add in salt
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Note: This risotto does not use cheese; instead it uses a lobster bisque soup to hold the rice together.
Directions:
- Score and dice ½ of a yellow onion.
- Pour the 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of dry Italian seasoning (Thyme, Basil) in a metal pan on high heat.
- Once the pan starts to smoke add the onions to the pan with some smashed garlic, basil and other seasonings.
- Add in 1 cup of precooked rice to the seasoning in the pan.
- Remove the pan from the stove and add about ½ cup of Sauvignon Blanc white wine and stir in.
- Once the wine begins to cook down and get soaked into the rice, slowly add in ½ cup of miso soup stock while stirring the risotto mixture. Note: Do not add in too much miso or the risotto will become too salty. Allow the miso to simmer into the rice on medium heat.
- Add in the diced jalapeños. And let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add in 1/2 cup of readymade lobster bisque and fold into the risotto using a rubber spatula. Mix until 30% of the liquid is absorbed. Then lower the heat from medium to low, so the rice won’t burn.
- Add in ½ tablespoon of butter at a time and mix in. If your heat is too high your butter will break ( meaning that the butter will separate from your risotto mixture and float to the top creating a darker colored risotto) and that will make your risotto oily.
- If you over cook the risotto you can just add in either more stock or more wine to rebalance it. Stir it well.
- Add in chopped mushroom and stir.
- You many garnish your risotto with 1/8 teaspoon of Italian parsley or cilantro.
- When you have left over risotto that you want to reheat, but it is a bit stiff the best thing to do is to put it back in a pan on the heat, add in a little bit of wine, and stir until it is the right consistency again. For a large batch of risotto add in a total of two cups of wine in stages and stir in.
