Risotto is the rice to use..not plain rice. Risotto is a special, creamy rice and is so tasty.This recipe is definitely a comfort food and is perfect for a cool fall evening.
Ingredients
- 2 cups boiled and rinsed risotto (slightly under-cooked), shopping list
- 12-15 fresh, cleaned mussels, shopping list
- 1-2 cups chicken stock, shopping list
- 10 large, pealed and deveined shrimp, shopping list
- 6 oz. small scallops, shopping list
- 5 oz. calamari rings, shopping list
- 2 tbsp. grated parmesan, shopping list
- 1 tbsp. diced onion, shopping list
- 2 tsp. minced garlic, shopping list
- 1 tbsp. butter, shopping list
- 1 tbsp. EV olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh tarragon, 2 tablespoon white wine, 2 tablespoon tomato sauce (optional). shopping list
How to make it
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan and saute the onion and garlic.
- Add the mussels and when they start opening, add the rest of the seafood.
- Add the wine, too, and cook for 2 minutes before adding the boiled rice.
- Stir well and start pouring gradually the chicken stock while stirring. . When the stock absorbs into the rice and you get the desired consistency, season, add the chopped tarragon and fold in the grated parmesan.
- Contrary to what some people say, that parmesan and seafood don't go well together, I find this recipe to taste even better with parmesan in it.
- Serve with my usual recommendation of crusty bread and sweet cream butter.
