Mario's Lobster Risotto
Me and the wife are pulling out the stops tonight and trying the lobster risotto from Mario's Molto Italiano cook book.
We've never made a risotto dish before, this should be interesting.

I like lobster and I like risotto, so the two together should be good eats. Let us know how it turns out!

Ha! I'm prepping the mesquite fire for the mixed veggies and I come in the house to hear "OH F*CK!!!".
The wife thought she poured the stock from the lobster down the drain, but it was actually the ice bath which the lobsters sit in following their time on the heat. This can only get better. :34:
It should be on the plate soon. The house smells wonderful.

Oh dear. I hope all turns out well.

Oh my. Friggin' delicious.
I singed the veggies just a bit because I was bouncing back and forth between the veggies on the grill and the risotto, but the risotto was perfect. Pics coming soon.

The veggies wait........
The grill waits, stoked with Kingsford mesquite charcoal and true lump mesquite coals.....
The lobsters wait.
Tomato paste and onions sweat it out.
And we start to build the risotto.
The lobster gets tossed in.
Some unsalted butter and chopped Italian parsley are added.
Did I mention that I was enjoying my favorite, Jack and Coke?
Not the best presentation, but it tasted excellent.
