SEAFOOD RISOTTO
Serves 4
- 1 pack Wholey Seafood Risotto Mix
- 1 ½ cups Fish or Vegetable Stock
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 4 tblsp. Unsalted Butter
- 1 small Onion, minced (about ½ cup)
- 1 1/3 cups Arborio Rice
- ½ cup Dry White Wine
- ½ cup Plum Tomatoes, peeled, crushed, seeded
- ½ cup fresh Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped, loosely packed
- 1 tblsp. Garlic, chopped
- 1 tblsp. Brandy
- 1 tblsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
- In a small saucepan, warm the fish or vegetable stock. Keep warm.
- In a large saucepan over moderately low heat, warm the olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the onion, saute, stirring occasionally until tender (there should be no color), about 5 minutes. Add the rice and toast lightly for 1 minute without letting the rice or onion take on any color.
- Add the wine and cook until almost completely absorbed. Add most of the stock (it should come about ½ inch above the rice) and bring to a simmer. Cook the risotto, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed some of the liquid, about 8 minutes.
- Add just the scallops, and tomatoes, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the scallops are cooked and the rice is al dente, about 6 minutes more. As the rice continues to absorb the liquid, add more as needed.
- Add the rest of the seafood (mussels and clams), stir and cook for 2 minutes then remove the risotto from the heat and add the parsley, garlic, brandy, olive oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir well to release the starches and make the risotto creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately with your favorite garlic bread.
