Ingredients
-
1 ½ medium onions
-
1 carrot, roughly chopped
-
1 bay leaf
-
1 pound live lobsters
-
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
-
1 cup dry white wine
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
¼ cup finely chopped Italian parsley
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
-
Coarsely chop 1 onion. Finely chop remaining 1/2 onion.
-
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add coarsely chopped onion, carrot, and bay leaf. Prepare an ice bath. Plunge the lobsters into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Remove and submerge in the ice bath for 1 minute, then drain and set aside. Keep the lobster cooking liquid warm over low heat.
-
Combine olive oil, finely chopped onion, and tomato paste in a deep, 10- to 12-inch skillet and cook over medium heat until onion is softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add rice and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine, then add a 4- to 6-ounce ladleful of the lobster cooking liquid and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding the liquid a ladleful at a time, waiting until the liquid is absorbed each time before adding more, for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, remove the lobster meat from the shell, leaving the claws whole, and chop the tail meat into 1-inch pieces. Toss the lobster into the rice and continue cooking until the rice is tender and creamy but still al dente, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Remove from heat; add parsley and butter, and stir vigorously. Serve immediately.
