Ingredients

1 lb crab meat, cooked and shredded
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken or seafood broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat with the oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in the white wine and cook until it has evaporated.
Add 1 cup of broth to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is absorbed.
Continue to add the broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition of liquid is absorbed before adding more.
After about 20 minutes, when the rice is tender but still firm to the bite, stir in the shredded crab meat and Parmesan cheese.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the crab is heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the crab risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
