Crab Rissoto
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion - diced
1 Celery Stalk - diced
2 1/2 cups Arborio Rice
2 lbs Crabmeat
3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese - grated
5 cups Chicken Broth
4 Garlic Cloves - minced
3/4 cup White Wine
1 cup Heavy Cream
To taste Kosher salt and white pepper
Method:
-
Sauté the onion, celery and garlic in olive oil until soft and
translucent.
-
Add the rice and mix well until it is coated with oil. Do not brown.
-
Add the wine and stir constantly over medium heat until all liquid is
evaporated.
-
Add enough broth to cover the rice and continue to stir until the liquid
is absorbed.
-
Keep adding more broth a little at a time, while constantly stirring until the rice is done.
Do not boil! The rice will break up and become mushy.
-
Once you have adjusted the seasonings - blend in the crabmeat.
Save a little crabmeat for garnish.
