Lobster Tail & Saffron Risotto

Name: Lobster Tail & Saffron Risotto
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 Lobster tails; 1 tsp Olive oil; 50 g Butter; 750 ml Fish stock; 1 pinch Saffron threads; 200 g Arborio rice; 1 Shallot; 2 clove Garlic; 150 ml Dry white wine; 40 g Unsalted butter; 40 g Parmesan; Salt; Butter; Lemon zest; Dill

Slow, steady and worth the time. A rich lobster infused stock with the classic saffron warmth and sweet lobster folded through at the end. A few steps but its very attainable. I picked up 2 lobster tails from my local fishmongers rather than dealing with the ordeal of using a live one, but you do you.

Couldn't get a hold of lobster tails so used langoustine tails instead which worked well although a bit more of a faff. Final dish tasted lovely and the sweetness of the shellfish really coming through

I willl need to try it out with the langoustines, they are lovely and sweet. Crab would work too!
