Crab Farrotto With Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a 3 1/2-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and all of the water cooks out, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the leeks. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the leeks, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and cook 1 more minute. Add the farro to the pan and stir to coat the grains in the oil and toast slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and stir. Cook the farro, stirring occasionally, until the wine evaporates almost completely, about 8 minutes. Add the broth in 1-cup increments, cooking until the liquid almost completely evaporates before adding the next increment; this will take about 45 minutes to complete. Remember to stir often to create a creamy texture.
• When the farro is tender and absorbs almost all of the liquid, stir in the mushrooms, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano and butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted in and the mixture is creamy. Stir in the peas at the last minute and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a medium saucepan and keep it simmering over low heat.
• In a medium (10 to 11-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, fennel, and poblano pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, thyme, saffron, and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat all the grains with butter and oil. Add the wine and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering stock to the rice and cook, stirring frequently (see Cook's Note). When the stock is almost completely absorbed, continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, simmering the risotto until the stock is absorbed each time before adding more stock. Cook until the rice is al dente; it should take between 25 and 30 minutes.
• When the rice is done, stir in the creme fraiche, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Fold in the crabmeat and peas and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, until the crabmeat is warmed through. Add just enough simmering stock to make the risotto moist and creamy. Serve hot in large, shallow bowls and sprinkle with chives and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Put the potato in a pot with enough water to cover. Season the water generously with salt and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly. Cut into quarters and slice into thin pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, lemon zest, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the olive oil. In the baking dish, combine the crab, arugula and sliced potatoes, making sure the potatoes are all lying flat. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
• Bake until the center is just set and the top is brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 1-inch squares.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the garlic, habanero, onion, five-spice, celery salt, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon black pepper to a food processor and pulse until combined and paste-like. Add the soy sauce, oil, vinegar and scallion whites and puree until well-mixed and smooth. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken parts in a baking dish and pour half of the marinade over the top, brushing so that all pieces are coated. Set the remaining marinade aside. Marinate the chicken at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken parts in the pan skin-side down and cook for 7 minutes per side. Place the chicken back in the baking dish and baste with the reserved marinade. Place in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Note that the baking time for the breast may be shorter than the leg. Remove from the baking dish as finished and let rest for a couple of minutes.
• For the rice: Coat the bottom of a small pot with the oil and sweat the sliced onions with a pinch of salt over high heat until browned. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, thyme bundle and bay leaves. Stir and season to taste with salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and stir in the peas. Cover and cook for 17 minutes. Turn off the heat then remove the bay leaves and thyme bundle. Fluff the rice and mix in the cilantro and scallion greens.
• Place a large scoop of rice in the center of each plate and arrange the chicken pieces on top.

Steps:

• Heat the lobster stock in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the lobster tails and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray and set aside to cool. Reserve the stock for later. Remove the meat from the shells and cut into nice bite-sized pieces.
• To a large skillet, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a drizzle of olive oil and some salt. Remove from the heat. Dice half of the sauteed mushrooms and leave the other half whole for garnish.
• Heat a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat with some olive oil. Add the onion and some salt and sweat until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the farro and stir to coat in the onions and olive oil. Toast for 5 minutes, then add the wine. Season with salt, then allow the wine to reduce, stirring occasionally, until it's almost completely absorbed. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Begin to add the stock 2 ladlefuls at a time. Cook, stirring frequently, until the stock has absorbed into the farro. Repeat adding the stock two more times until the farro is tender but still has some bite to it. (There may be leftover stock.) Stir in the zucchini. Add the butter and Parmesan and stir vigorously to combine. The farro should be loose and creamy. Fold in the diced lobster mushrooms, diced lobster meat and chives.
• Plate the farrotto and garnish each portion with a slice of lobster mushroom. Garnish with the micro basil.

Steps:

• Place the stock in a saucepan and set over low heat to keep hot.
• In a large saucepan or pot over high heat, bring salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a strainer set into a large bowl. Add the peas to the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to the ice bath. When cool, drain and reserve.
• In a high-sided sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the farro and stir to coat. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of the stock. Cook until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While the farrotto is cooking, heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the morels and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Add 1 more cup stock to the farrotto. Continue cooking until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup more stock. When the liquid is nearly absorbed, taste the farrotto. It should be nearly tender with some resilience. Add the peas and the morel mixture with an additional 1/4 cup stock. Stir, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and fold in the cheese and the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti for 12 mins, or following pack instructions, until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the leeks and chilli and cook for 5 mins. Stir in the garlic, peas, lemon zest and juice, then cook for a few mins.
• Drain the pasta, then add to the pan with ¼ mug of pasta water and the crab, then toss everything together until well coated. Spoon into shallow bowls and serve.
