Hello friends welcome to cooking with Denise today we’re going to have a lobster delicious dinner for my Valentine sweetheart I am serving up Lobster voto and this is also a collaboration day we will be making food of love so look for the hashtag but I have all of the other collaborators

Listed below in the description so let’s us start working with this Critter and making ourselves some delicious Lobster voka let’s start this meal of Love by boiling our water now we want our water to come to a good rolling boil and I’ve put my lid on it too allow it to boil

Faster now we’re going to cook our lobster for about 8 minutes mine is 1 and 1/2 lb if you’ve got more like a two pounder 2 and 1/2 lb you might want to cook it for more like 10 minutes when you go to pick your Lobster out make

Sure you get one that’s very Lively this one was Lively in the store but he’s been sitting in my sink for a couple of hours now so he’s not as active as he was earlier he put up a good fight when the lady tried to get him out of the

Tank our water has come to a rolling boil so what we want to do now is to grab this guy and lid ready and let’s put him in here head first down in the water good there we go and we’re going to want to keep them in here boiling

For 8 minutes after you’ve boiled your lobster for 8 minutes you want to take take him out and drain him and let him cool some and then let’s break into a shell put him on here he’s allow to be a little messy okay going to start right

Here I’m just going to cut down through the center cut his little leg off could do this with a knife or scissors We going to pull this off now this is toxic you don’t want any of that or it could be eggs but whatever I’m going to rinse that off now here’s the egg part that other was that toxic part so I’m going to get rid of that

Also and now I’m going to take this and just pull it like so and pull this baby out let’s get rid of this part I’m going to save my shells and and turn it into broth I’m going to put it back in that water and boil some more and I’m going

To take these off you just have to twist them all take all the legs Off now I want to break these legs a little get more flavor now what we want to do now these are sharp and and spiky but you should be able to grab a ho without touch in that and let’s crack that boy my flow moved wish I had my regular

Crackers oh I might have a nutcracker in There and you can get that to pull out ho so this is a nutcracker and a pick and so I’m going to use It okay now for this boy you can pull this back look at water come up and sometimes you can yank it right and get something out of there I didn’t do it right but there’s the meat from there and to Try whoa Hit the Floor see if this will work better yeah Yeah there now then I should be able to pull this out whole claw there perfect I’ll just go on and do the same thing here and come back to you be my Valentine And subscribe to cooking with Denise okay so let’s cut our Lobster up into pieces some of

The claws that I pulled out and didn’t do such a great job but we wanted into bite siiz pieces want to be able to tell that we’re eating lobster now this is going to be for two people I have like a cup and a half of lobster here if you’re going to be

Serving more than two people you’re going to want about 2 and 1/2 cups of lobster okay and I’m going to save this pretty claw for decoration on our dish okay back in here set it aside until later now I am boiling my shells from the lobster and I’ll do that for

About an hour now and I will use that water in making our Roto okay I’m going to take my my handy dandy iron skillet and warm it up going to put about a tablespoon of oil in now I have taken one onion and chopped it into small pieces so I’ll add

That to my Skillet a half a cup of chopped carrot and I’ve cut these into small pieces a half a cup of chopped celery again cut into small pieces and what we want to do is cook these until they soften now as you can tell I’ve let my vegetables get a little too hot and a

Little round on their edges I didn’t want to do that but let’s check the carrots and see if they’re cooked through spoon out one and see if it’s soft enough m I want it to cook a little bit longer I want that to be soft I’ll take about three cloves of garlic and

Let’s just press those makes it pretty full there it Goes then stir that around get the fragrance and let’s remove our Veggies and we want to set these veggies aside for later now I’m going to add about a tablespoon of oil and a tablespoon of butter for our Roto we want to use a carara rice which is a risoto rice or there other types that make good risoto

Rices but this one really is your best one for risoto CU we want it starchy and we do not want to rinse our rice cuz we want to keep that starch on it what we’re going to do here is toast our rice so I’m going to add about a

Cup now stir that around just letting it toast I hear my rice starting to pop a little bit and I can see it’s starting to Brown so what I’m going to do now is I’m going to add a cup of white wine dry white wine I’m using a

Chardonay and we’ll scrape the bottom get the goodies off of the bottom and we’re going to let that alcohol all cook out I’m going to keep stirring this occasionally I’m going to go on and add some freshly ground Pepper some salt and a pinch of saffron that I’ve crumbled up crunched it whatever you want to call It keep coming back and stirring it from time to time now I have a bottle of clam juice and I’m going to use that and then add from my seafood broth that I’m making out of my lobster shells for any more liquids I might need so I’m going to slowly add This okay I’ve brought my broth over that I’ve been making that’s a good way I’m going to give me a spoon and take a taste of this it’s starting to reach some creaminess I want it to get a little creamier creier I want to see what the Roto feels like

Cuz we don’t want it to turn the Mush no it needs to cook longer okay so the Roto is becoming close to getting cooked so I’m going to go on and add the vegetables back In add another Ladle of broth what it usually takes is about 3 and 1/2 to four cups of liquid so we had one cup of wine we had one cup of clam broth clam juice juice and I expect we having about already had about one cup

Maybe even on into two cups of our seafood broth I can tell the rice is getting cooked those juices are getting creamier and creamier let’s taste it Again Almost there going to add another cup of or another Ladle of Broth now then let’s add about 3/4 a cup of grated Parmesan and you don’t want your risoto to get totally dry you do want some liquid in it you want it so when you put it on the plate you can put it on in a pile but it does spread out okay now I’m going to put my Lobster

Back in just to heat it I’m going to hold this claw meat out put the rest of the lobster meat in as you can tell I only have about a cup and a half you probably have want more than that two cups would be most desirable this is going to be

Delicious okay I’m going to go get my things together and plate this up well folks here we have it our Lobster Roto doesn’t it look delicious let’s give it a Try perfect perfect the Roto is cook till it’s soft soft but not mushy and that’s important and the is so tender and oh the flavor is just enormous you really should make this for your Valentine sweetheart I’m sure they will appreciate it and join me in a toast to the other collaborators on
