Carne brasiliana a Salvador.
Non è proprio il tipico modo di mangiare la carne in Brasile, ovviamente il più noto è il churrasco, ma fa sempre piacere un bel piatto così: riso, carne, patatine fritte e insalata (anche se di insalata io non ne mangio).
Tutto condito da una bella birra (cerveja se lo volete dire il portoghese) o due e via…
Per l’Antivigilia di Natale a Salvador de Bahia il menù è questo!!!
Buon appetito anche a voi!
Risotto with lobster sauce, the recipe
Risotto with lobster sauce, the recipe.
The chef of the house (my dad) has once again amazed everyone with an exceptional dish: a risotto with lobster sauce.
And here is the recipe from chef Loris:
This is a somewhat lengthy process but it can also be done with a frozen lobster.
First of all I divide the lobster into two pieces lengthwise when it is still frozen and immediately put it in a pan with a little oil where I have fried a clove of garlic.
I bring the lobster back to life over low heat to recover the juices that would disperse with the ice from freezing and I let it cool. Once cold I recover the central pulp and all that contained in the legs and head and put it aside.
I put the pan back on the heat with all the bone scraps and the liquid from the first cooking; once hot I bathe them with a little cognac which I let evaporate, I add a little tomato puree (fresh is better) and let it cook for a short time adding hot water because you must remember that all the sauce and pulp will continue to cook in the risotto... Then I pass everything through a sieve.
At this point I begin the classic risotto preparation: in the base of very finely chopped onion and fried in a little olive oil, I toast the arborio rice, bathe in white wine and, once evaporated, add the chopped pulp and the sauce. I add a little more hot water, cover the pan with the risotto and let it cook on low heat for about twenty minutes, checking that it does not stick and if necessary stirring very slowly with a wooden spoon. Once cooked and with the heat off, I stir in a little more olive oil, add a little chopped parsley and serve on very hot plates.
