Microwave Crab Risotto With Chilli Crab Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the baguette slices onto a baking tray, drizzle over half the oil, add some seasoning, then bake for 5 mins until golden at the edges.
• Meanwhile, mix the crab, chilli, coriander, lime zest and juice with the remaining oil and some seasoning, then spoon on top of the toast just before you serve.

Steps:

• Put a medium pot on a burner over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil and shallots and simmer until the shallots are translucent. Pour the wine into the pot and allow simmer until the wine is almost completely evaporated. Add the butter and when melted, add the rice and stir until coated with the butter. Add 3 cups of the chicken broth and gently simmer. Slowly add the remaining chicken stock and cook until the rice is soft. Add the crabmeat and milk and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan, Salt and pepper to taste, and mix well. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and continue to mix occasionally, until it's time to serve. To make the chive oil, add the chives and olive oil to a blender, and mix on high for about 3 minutes. Pour the oil in a small bowl or squeeze bottle.
• Serve the warm risotto in medium-sized bowls and drizzle a small amount of chive oil on top for a garnish.

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:

• Heat the butter and oil together in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft. Do not brown, they should be translucent. Add the rice and saute for a further 3 to 5 minutes making sure the rice is well coated, Using a ladle, add about 1/2 cup of stock to the rice and stir over a medium heat until the rice is almost dry and all the stock has been incorporated. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked but still has a slight bite. The rice should be creamy and moist, not runny, and the cooking time should be around 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, fold in the crabmeat, chopped chives, and Parmesan. Drizzle sparingly with white truffle oil.
