Seafood Risotto (Risotto ai Fruitti di Mare)

Ingredients for Seafood Risotto (Risotto ai Fruitti di Mare)

• 600ml fish or vegetable stock

• 80ml olio d'oliva

• 3 cucchiai di burro non salato

• 1 small onion, minced (about 90g )

• 250g Carnaroli or Vialone Nano rice

• 120ml di vino bianco secco

• 8 small clams, such as Manila

• 8 mussels, scrubbed and debearded

• 110g squid, cleaned and cut into thin rings

• 4 medium sea scallops

• 80g peeled, crushed, and seeded plum tomatoes

• 1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

• 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic

• 1 tablespoon brandy

• 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine d'oliva

• 120ml freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, optional

• Sale e pepe nero macinato fresco

• N/A freshly ground black pepper

1. In a small saucepan, warm the fish or vegetable stock. Keep warm.

2. In a large saucepan over moderately low heat, warm the olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the onion, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender (there should be no colour), about 5 minutes. Add the rice and toast lightly for 1 minute without letting the rice or onion take on any colour.

3. Add the wine and cook until almost completely absorbed. Add most of the stock (it should come about 1/2 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.

4. Add the clams, mussels, squid, scallops, and tomatoes, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is cooked and the rice is al dente, about 6 minutes more. As the rice continues to absorb the liquid, add more as needed.

5. Remove the risotto from the heat and add the parsley, garlic, brandy, olive oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano, if using, and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir well to release the starches and make the risotto creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
