Ingredients

  • 1 lb Aqua Star Coastal Blend Crab Meat, picked over for shells​
  • ¾ lb oyster mushrooms, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper​
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed​
  • 5 cups fish stock or bottled clam juice​
  • ¼ cup shallots, diced​
  • 2 Tbsp garlic, minced​
  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice​
  • ¼ cup dry white wine​
  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving​
  • ¼ cup chervil or parsley, finely chopped for garnish

To make

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter half of the butter cubes around the mushrooms and roast for 20—25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.​

In a medium saucepan, heat the fish stock (or clam juice) and bring to a simmer. Keep warm over very low heat.​​

In a large saucepan, heat the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallot, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until well coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed. Add 1 cup of the warm stock and cook, stirring constantly, until nearly absorbed. Continue adding the warm stock ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the stock to be nearly absorbed between additions. The risotto is done when the rice is al dente and suspended in a thick, creamy sauce, about 20 minutes total.​

Stir mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of Parmigiano, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into the risotto and season lightly with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the crab meat; add 1—2 tablespoons of water if risotto is too thick.

Spoon risotto into shallow bowls and garnish with the chervil. ​Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Instead of roasting, sauté the mushrooms with the shallots and garlic before adding the rice.
Be sure to sauté the rice until smelling a nice nutty aroma before adding any liquid.
