Crab Risotto

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups homemade crab stock
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp butter divided
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped finely
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • celery salt
  • 1 lb dry arborio rice
  • 12 oz lump crab meat
  • 1 ⅓ cups dry vermouth
  • 3 oz freshly grated Parmesan
  • smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Heat crab stock to boiling in a saucepan.
  • In another pot, heat olive oil and 2 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery salt to taste, and cook for 15 minutes. Add rice and fry for a minute or two more.
  • Lower heat to medium low. Add the liquid from both cans of crabmeat and the dry vermouth, and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
  • Add boiling crab stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladle to be absorbed before adding the next. This can easily take 45 minutes.
  • When the rice is fully cooked (but still with a soft bite) and the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter, the Parmesan, and the crab meat. Cover and remove from heat. Let sit, covered, 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Stir and serve sprinkled with smoked paprika.
