Seafood Risotto!

[Pheebs]

I felt creative and wanted to do something a bit different... and so I made Seafood Risotto!

It was NOMTASTIC!

Seriously thought I would cock it up as I know risotto is renouned for being a pain in the arse... but it turned out PERFECT!

INGREDIENTS:

1 x Pack of Mussels (they didn't have any fresh ones )
1 x Squid Tube sliced (they didn't have a whole squidy)
A Handful of prawns (I used cooked prawns because, guess what! They didn't have any raw ones! Sainsburys SUCKED BUM yesterday)
300g x Risotto Rice
1 litre of Chicken/Veg Stock (I used KNorr stock cube)
125ml Dry White Wine
A Handful of peas
6 Chopped Cherry Toms
1 ONion diced and sliced
1 crushed garlic clove
A Dollop of butter
Salt and Pepper

Method:
Chuck your butter and onions and garlic into a hot frying pan. Allow them to soften.
Plonk in the rice and whizz it about for a couple of minutes
Pour in the wine - STIR CONSTANTLY - until rice has abosrbed.
Then add your stock - keep on stirring. Only add a little at a time and when the rice has absorbed that, pour in a bit more.
When you have added 500ml of stock, chuck in the prawns, toms and peas.
By the time you have added 750ml of stock, heat up your muscles in a separate pan and chuck your squid into another hot pan and stir fry.

After 5mins all stock should have been added and the rice should be looking creamy... everything should just about be cooked - throw the squid into the rice and serve up in a dish - muscles on top and serve with a side of garlic bread.

Despite using up a HuuUUge amount of pans and ensuring you were pretty much stirring constantly it was pipsqueek, took 30mins and super tasty!

If I can do it whilst stepping over a dog, throwing things in the washing up bowl, swooping past Picky who obviously wanted to be a man and stir too... anyone can

As said in ingredients - am gutted I didn't have fresh prawns and muscles though If I had the raw prawns I would have seared them with the squidy! Nom)
