Method
Prepare the Lobster
- If not already cooked, boil the lobster tail for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Let it cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Set aside the chopped lobster.
Cook the Risotto
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the arborio rice and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
- Pour in the white wine and stir until absorbed.
- Begin adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle.
- Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
Finish the Risotto
- Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the remaining butter, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Gently fold in the chopped lobster and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve
- Spoon the risotto into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
