Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb red snapper cubed
  • 1.5 lbs mussels
  • 20 clams
  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 4-8 cups fish broth (or chicken broth)
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or sesame oil)
  • 3 shallots diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • ½ lemon (juiced)
  • 1½ cups white wine (1/2 cup for risotto, 1 cup for mussels and clams)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup water
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 green onion

Method
 

Risotto
  1. Warm up broth in a separate small saucepan or pot.
  2. Heat up 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat in a large saucepan or a pot. Add the shallots and saute for 4 minutes, or until translucent. Add 1 tbsp of butter and all of garlic and tomato, cook for 2 more minutes.
  3. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Add ½ cup of white wine and stir until rice absorbs all the wine.
  4. Add 1 ladle of broth and stir the rice until it absorbs all the broth. Repeat this process until the rice is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
  5. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the risotto. Stir and taste, make any desired adjustments. Add the fish, try not to stir once it is cooked or the fish will break apart.
Mussels and Clams
  1. In a separate pot, add 1 cup of white wine, 1 cup of water, and 2 tbsp of butter. Add cleaned mussels and clams and heat up on medium high. Cook until the mussels and clams open up, about 6 or 7 minutes.
  2. Grate the Parmesan on top of the risotto, place the clams and mussels around the plate. Garnish with green onion.
