lobster risotto

If you are looking for a dish to wow your holiday dinner guests, then this lobster risotto is it. It’s elegant, festive, and, maybe the best part, easy to make - especially if you have a few risottos under your belt.

I’ve been on somewhat of a lobster kick lately, not because I am swimming in extra cash, but the dreary economic climate has lowered the price of lobster quite a bit (apparently lobster prices usually coincide with the vibe on Wall St.), making lobster a nice indulgence.

I’m also a bit geared up to be back living in New England, so while my friends in the Bay Area are enjoying the beginning of Dungeness crab season, I’m living it up with fresh lobster that is still in season (and might be at it’s best) in November and December. It seems that on either coast the seafood choices are prime right now.
