Low Fat Chilli Seafood Risotto
Ingredients
- 18 large (800g) uncooked prawns
- 12 (300g) small black mussels
- 18 scallops
- 3 ½ cups (875ml) salt-reduced chicken or fish stock
- 2 cups (500ml) water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium (150g) brown onion, sliced thinly
- 4 small red chillies, seeded, sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 cups (400g) arborio rice
- ½ cup (125ml) dry white wine
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preparation method
Peel and devein the prawns, leaving tails intact. Scrub the mussels well and remove the beards. Pat scallops dry.
Combine stock and water in a medium pan; bring to the boil then reduce the heat.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan, cook onion, chilli and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft but not coloured. Add rice, cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add wine, cook, stirring, until all liquid is evaporated. Add ½ cup (125ml) of the hot stock mixture, cook, stirring, over low-medium heat until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the stock mixture in ½ cup batches until the rice is just tender. Total cooking time will be about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Meanwhile, cook seafood on a heated, oiled grill plate (or heavy-based frying pan) in batches, until just cooked through and mussels are opened.
Top the risotto with the seafood and the chopped parsley.
