Cook: 1 hour 30 mins
Servings: 3-4
Ingredients
Rice – 1 Glass (Arborio or Carnaroli)
Crab meat in shell – 400 Grams
Shell-on shrimp – 300 Grams
Onion – 1 Piece
Garlic – 1-2 Cloves
Dry white wine – 1 Glass
Grated Parmesan – 1 Glass
Cream 20% – 0.5 Cups
Saffron – 1 Pinch
Ground fennel – 1 pinch
Ground white pepper – 1 Pinch
Olive oil – To taste (for frying)
Salt – To taste
Directions
First, we need to remove the crab meat from the shells and peel the shrimp.
We do not throw away the shells and husks from shrimps, they will be useful to us for broth.
Cut the crab meat into large pieces, leave the shrimps, if they are small, whole.
We spread all the waste (shells and husks) in a saucepan, fill them with a liter of water and bring the liquid to a boil. Cook the broth over low heat for half an hour.
We filter the finished broth, discard all unnecessary. Pour half a glass of broth, add saffron to it and let it brew. We return the remaining broth to low heat and continue to heat it.
Pour some olive oil into the multicooker bowl, turn on the “Multi-Cook / Fry” mode and set the temperature to 120 degrees. Put the diced onions in the heated oil and fry it until transparent.
Add rice to the onion (you don’t need to rinse it), fry everything together for 1-2 minutes, stirring the rice constantly.
We pour wine into the bowl, mix everything and close the lid of the multicooker, wait for the rice to absorb the wine.
After that, pour about 1/3 of the broth (hot) into the multicooker, close the lid again and wait for the liquid to evaporate, open the lid several times and stir the rice. Then again pour in 1/3 of the broth, cook the rice further under the lid.
When the rice absorbs this portion of the broth, pour the remaining broth into the bowl, as well as the one in which the saffron was soaked, add spices, close the lid again.
Cream and salt should be added when the broth is half evaporated.
In the finished rice, the liquid should not completely evaporate, a little of it should remain so that the consistency of the risotto is creamy. So, put the crab and shrimp meat in the bowl, mix everything.
At the very end, add most of the grated Parmesan, mix everything again.
Put the finished risotto with crab on plates, sprinkle with parmesan on top and serve.
Actually, this post was born out of ignorance of the subject. Which one? The answer is simple – it turns out I cooked crabs completely wrong. That is, you don’t need to cook them at all. So this story cannot be called a recipe. Servings: 12 Cook: 15 mins ...
