Lobster  Asparagus Risotto

Ingredients

  • 8 cups lobster broth or chicken (I take the lobster shells and boil them in 4-5 cups of water to get as much lobster flavor as possible, strain it and use this for my broth)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3 cups arborio rice

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup dry white wine or water

  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  • 1 cup Lobster meat coarsely chopped ( reserve a few choice pieces for garnishing)

  • 2 cups (blanched )chopped Asparagus

  • Juice and Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp sriracha

  • Micro greens fro garnishing if desired

    In a large saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a Dutch oven, saute onion in oil until tender. Add rice and garlic; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in wine. Cook and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed.

  • Add heated broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to absorb between additions. Cook just until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients; cook and stir until heated through. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan, micro greens and a chunk of fresh lobster. Serve immediately.
