Poverty Food Porn

This is lamb shanks and lobster rissotto, the ultimate in poverty food, my perfect poverty surf and turf. The lamb shanks I always have in the freezer, I buy them whenever I see them. The lobster, that was a fluke (budum dum). I had splurged the day before, Mrs. Prom and I had lob ster, I was mad at Bush or something and needed to treat myself, as is my wont, and it was probably on sale, but we did not delve into the bodies, I so I saved them. The next day I carefully picked them and came up with a good half-cup or so of nice chunks of lobster meat, and I still had the shells, and so, I thought, rissotto, this would stretch the flavor of the lobster out maginficently. You should know the drill, don't make me teach you, minced shallot, butter, saute, add arborio rice, cook the rice a little like its rice-a-roni, of course you already have stock made and simmering, 4 or 5 cups for each cup of rice, start stirring in the stock, little at a time, stir stir stir, towards the end, add the lobster, add some tomato paste (you didn't think a few shells and a half cup of meat turns your rissotto such a pretty color, did you?) cream, and I added some brie, I believe, brie tastes like lobster, you know, I am not kidding here, I also make "mock lobster rissotto," this same recipe without the lobster, you can hardly tell the difference. Alright, yes you can.

The lamb is pretty much the recipe given below in Poverty Food.
