Crayfish Rissoto
My favourite dinner to have on a warm summers night. Quick & easy to prepare, especially when you are time poor…
The flavours of saffron and freshwater crayfish are infused into this luscious, creamy risotto. The delicate crayfish is blanched for only one minute and then the cooking process completes when they are added into the warm risotto.
