Lobster Risotto In A $3,000 Parmesan Cheese Wheel

The title says it all. I shipped an entire parmesan cheese wheel from Italy (again) but instead of handmade pasta, we cooked lobster risotto. Risotto is a dish that many believe to be extraordinarily difficult. But I see it instead as a time-consuming yet highly rewarding process. In reality, all you need for a good risotto is a few great ingredients and about 30 focused minutes.

Ingredient List:
8 cups chicken or vegetable stock
8 tbsp olive oil
1.5 cups chopped yellow/white onion
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/2 cup chopped scallions (green onions)
1 tsp salt
1 lb lobster meat + shells for stock
2 cups short-grain italian rice (arborio or carnaroli)
1 cup white wine
4 tbsp butter
1 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
black pepper

An incredible experience! I’m now in love with the parmesan wheel 🥰 thank you nick

[btbtiptopparkour]

If an Italian is okay with sitting back and watching you cook, you know you’re a good chef

[aselherath]

I like how he explain every single step even though we’re not gonna make it.

[aevinwyrmfyre]

I cook his recipes, and I can say he's the truth, I always steal the show in the kitchen when I use Nicks techniques, and tips.

[tyrawilliams]

It feels weird not to hear QCP yelling and calling us a betch.

[grantbruno]

I love how QCP immediately started eating the Parmesan as soon as he opened it up 😂😂😂😂

Alternate title: 2 chefs complementing parmesean cheese for 8 minutes and 45 seconds straight

I enjoy seeing Qcp being chill cause whenever i watch his shorts, it's like he is so hyperactive, but when he is vibing, i really enjoy it. i also hope Nick continues these collabs. i love it.

Love seeing some of my favorite food guys colab for some good ass looking food. Y'all are inspiring to me to see such young passionate cooks. Looking forward to eating some of y'all's food someday

The crunch in the lobster was sad but satisfiying

[gavyn_]

even thought i will probably never make any of these recipes you post, i will always watch these because you are so entertaining

[edohh]

I'm Italian and there are some tips I wanna give you:
-Less onions,
-use a different type of rice, I suggest you "rice carnaroli",
-use a good wine and always after the rice and before the broth,
-make a little bit more creamy risotto, this u made is too dry, it should make like a wave.
-Do not combine fish with cheese but if you want at the end u can use a little bit of parsley.
But generally u made a very good risotto.
Edit: thanks for the suggestions in the comments ...

i wonder if he ever makes pizza rolls when he doesn't feel like cooking at 2 am

[Nelson]

QCP is actually fun to watch when he's not saying betch every 2 seconds

[snigdhapradhan]

[cassamoroll]

[pix-can-fix]
