Seafood Risotto Directions

Peel and de-vein the prawns, leaving tails intact.  Scrub the mussels well and remove the beards.  Pat scallops dry.

Combine stock and water in a medium pan; bring to the boil then reduce the heat.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan, cook onion, chilli and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft but not coloured.  Add rice, cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Add wine, cook, stirring, until all liquid is evaporated.  Add ½ cup (125ml) of the hot stock mixture, cook, stirring, over low-medium heat until the liquid is absorbed.  Continue adding the stock mixture in ½ cup batches until the rice is just tender.  Season to taste with salt.
