2012-02-03

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 stick celery, finely chopped
  • 75g chopped pancetta
  • 250g arborio risotto rice
  • 200ml white wine
  • 1 litre fish stock
  • 12 raw king prawns
  • 12 mussels
  • 100g smoked salmon, chopped
  • 100g frozen peas, defrosted
  • Fresh seasoning
  • 200ml cream (HOPLA MONTARE)
  • 50g Parmesan cheese, grated (GALBANI)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped basil

Method

Risotto is very simple to make, but you must add in the stock gradually for best results. Start this recipe by heating the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, celery and pancetta and fry until softened but not browned (about 4-5 minutes) Add in the rice and cook, stirring well, for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is coated in oil and is translucent. Add the wine and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Add a ladle of hot stock and return the mixture to a simmer, stirring until it has been absorbed. Repeat the process until the rice is almost tender. When the risotto is almost ready, add in the cream, raw king prawns, mussels, smoked salmon and peas and continue to cook until the prawns and mussels are cooked through and the other ingredients have warmed through. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Finally, just before serving, stir through the grated Parmesan, parsley and basil. Serve the seafood risotto in large pasta bowls with parmesan crisps.

Method

Ir-risotto hu platt sempliċi, iżda s-sigriet tiegħu hu li trid iżżid l-istokk ftit ftit. Ibda billi ssaħħan iż-żejt f’taġen kbir fuq nar bati. Żid il-basal, il-karfus u l-panċetta u qallihom sakemm jirtabu mingħajr ma jiħmaru (madwar 4-5 minuti). Itfa’ r-ross u ħawwad sew għal 2-3 minuti, jew sakemm ikun inkesa sew biż-żejt. Żid l-inbid u ħallih itektek. Ħawwad kontinwament sakemm ir-ross jixrob il-likwidu kollu. Żid kuċċarun stokk jaħraq, kompli ħawwad u erġa’ ħalli r-ross itektek sakemm il-likwidu jerġa’ jinxtorob. Irrepeti dal-proċess sakemm ir-ross ikun kważi rtab. Meta r-ross ikun kważi lest, żid il-krema, il-gambli, il-maskli, is-salamun iffumigat u l-piżelli u kompli sajjar sakemm ikunu saru. Ħawwar bil-bżar u l-melħ. Qabel isservi, itfa’ l-ġobon Parmeġġan, it-tewm u l-ħabaq u ħawwad. Servi r-ross fi platti fondi ma’ ftit galletti tal-Parmeġġan.
