Risotto Frutti Di Mare

This is a risotto that I invented because my sister did not like Prawn Thermidor, but she likes rice so I made something using the ingredients of Prawn Thermidor but adding some of my own. Overall the secret ingredients of this dish are caviar and sour cream.

Ingredients:
Arborio Rice
Mushroom sliced
Bacon sliced
Scallop
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Prawns peeled and cut into threes
Butter
Sour Cream
Lungfish Caviar
Green Mussels
Garlic minced
White Wine
Italian Herbs
Basil
 

Steps: First Take a Pan and fill it with water and boil the arborio rice grains until they are soft and mix together well. When the rice has completely absorbed the excess water remove cover it and put it on low heat.










Prepare all of the ingredients. Put some butter in a pan and fry until it is golden brown. Then add the bacon to the pan and cook together well. When the bacon is half cooked add in the scallop and the mushrooms to the pan. Make sure that the scallop does not get crushed when your mixing it. Season it with Black Pepper












Add in the prawn to the pan and fry until it turns orange. Add in the Italian Herbs and Basil to the pan. Then add the Green Mussels on the half shell and the white wine to the pan. This will give the ingredients a good smell and taste. By this point some steam should be rising from the pan because of the mixture of liquids. Remove the ingredients from the pan

By the time that you finished cooking all the ingredients the rice should be cooked. Increase the heat of the pan with rice and then add the ingredients that have just been cooked. Mix all the ingredients except the mussels with the rice well and then add sour cream. When the rice has fully absorbed the sour cream add in the Lungfish caviar. 

Add in some of the shredded cheese to give it a sticky texture. Then Plate it. Garnish the top of the rice with the Green Mussels and add the remaining cheese. Microwave the plate for 10 seconds so that the cheese will melt onto the mussels and the rice. There you have it Risotto Frutti Di Mare
