Ingredients:
3 tbsp Butter
1 small Onion, minced
1 1/2 cup Arborio rice* or medium-
Grain
5 cup Chicken stock or canned
Broth
1/2 cup Whipping cream
3 1/2 oz Fresh goat cheese (such as
Montrachet)
8 oz Crabmeat
1/3 cup Chopped fresh basil or 1
Teaspoon dried, crumbled
Instructions:
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced
onion and saute' until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice and
saute' 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken stock to rice, reduce heat and
simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Continue
adding enough of remaining chicken stock 1 cup at a time until rice
is just tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently and
allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding next, about 20
minutes. Add whipping cream and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in goat cheese,
then crabmeat and chopped basil. Season risotto to taste with salt
and pepper.

* Arborio, an Italian short-grain rice, is available at Italian
markets and some specialty food stores.

In Santa Barbara, California, ALLEGRO offers this fine starter.
