Number Of Ingredients 10

24 oz ... uncooked lobster tails; in shells
4 cups ... broth (chicken preferred, vegetable okay)
1 cup ... red bell peppers; chopped
1/2 cup ... shallots; chopped
1/4 cup ... onion; chopped
1.5 cups ... risotto (arborio rice)
1/2 cup ... brandy
1/2 cup ... heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup ... chives; chopped fine
3-4 TBL ... truffle oil

Steps:

  • Place (defrosted) lobster tails in simmering, salted water; cook thoroughly (10-12 minutes). Place cooked lobster tails in cold water to cool. Drain. Remove meat from shells, cut into bite-size pieces, set aside. Break shells into pieces, bake in (pre-heated to 375 degrees) oven for 12-15 minutes. Combine shells with 1.5 cups of broth, blend until finely chopped. Strain broth fine, reserve, discard shells. Bring remaining broth to simmer, set aside. Heat 2-3 TBL oil in large saucepan with medium heat. Add pepper, shallots, onion and saute 2-3 minutes. Stir in rice for 2 minutes. Add brandy, reduce heat to low and stir until absorbed. Add lobster broth, bring to simmer, cook until rice becomes creamy. Add remaining chicken broth slowly (take 15-20 minutes). Blend in lobster meat, blend in cream, stir slowly over low heat until thoroughly heated. Add remaining oil and chives, stir in thoroughly. Salt & pepper to taste.
