Cooking with Hotel Ca’n Bonico: seaweed risotto with prawns and toasted corn

Ingredients for 4 people

For the rice
320gr cannaroli rice
1 onion
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon of paprika
Olive oil

For the broth
Crushed toasted corn
2 litets of water
Sunflower oil
4 strips of wakame seaweed
Flour to batter
2 onions
1 branch of celery
2 spoons of spirulina

 

For the final touch
Salt and pepper
4 prawns

 

  • Prepare the broth by putting all the ingredients in a pot and let them boil half an hour.
  • While the broth is cooking, we begin to prepare the rice base. Chop the onion and let them cook for a few minutes in olive oil, after a few minutes we will also add the clove of minced garlic. When it’s starting to get a golden color, we add the rice.
  • Now, with the broth ready, we add it to the rice, little by little, stirring constantly.
  • When the rice is cooked, we add a tablespoon of olive oil and leave it to rest.
  • In addition, we peel the prawns and crush them like a carpaccio between two oiled papers.
  • We coat the heads in batter and fry them.
  • To finish we put the rice on the plate, add salt and pepper and put the prawns on top of the rice next to the fried head.

Bon profit!
