I'm glad I don't often have to scale fish!<br /><br />Mr Noodles - What could be wrong with a risotto? A Jambalaya would be good, but I prefer big gutsy flavours with that, which may have drowned out the stock. <br /><br />Browners - interesting tip - the lobster had been boiled previously so i just lobbed the shells into a pan of water - didn't think about roasting them further, I'll have to give that a go. <br /><br />Gastro1 - Mmm... veal stock. I'll have to ask my butcher, thanks for the tip!<br /><br />James R - I had to have a little snooze on the couch after all that. <br /><br />Shayma - it's a great combination, especially with shellfish.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-34976876396738496152009-12-07T13:30:12.097+00:002009-12-07T13:30:12.097+00:00Like Dino, I make stock once a month and freeze it...Like Dino, I make stock once a month and freeze it. this risotto looks SO good, i live the combi of seafood and saffron.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316092310251306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-16132331456541509212009-12-07T12:47:31.543+00:002009-12-07T12:47:31.543+00:00That must have been a pretty epic portion of risot...That must have been a pretty epic portion of risotto - I'm green with envy.

If you've haven't got shell all over you, then you haven't tried hard enough.<br /><br />How did you make your lobster stock? Roasting the shells with some cognac helps and then boil them up.Brownershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494760235889452922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-56389746513323014302009-12-07T00:36:38.497+00:002009-12-07T00:36:38.497+00:00It's not fair - no one ever pops round mine wi...It's not fair - no one ever pops round mine with a whole cooked lobster.
