Lobster Risotto is a rich and creamy main dish that makes any meal special. Perfect for holidays and celebrating!
One thing I love about the holidays is the chance to delve into more time-consuming recipes than I usually can manage during the rest of the year.
The dinner menu for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve drive special attention, wanting to be sure to mark the occasion with panache.
New Year's Eve tends to draw planning toward the more decadent, luxe ingredients that we don't eat as often.
Soul-warming Lobster Risotto with Saffron and Haricot Vert feels fancy and elegant. With easy step by step instructions anyone can make it at home!
