Once you try this Thai seafood risotto, you'll never serve red curry on plain rice again.

Ingredients (13)

  • 3 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 300g arborio rice
  • 300ml fish or vegetable stock
  • 300ml coconut milk
  • 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, finely shredded
  • 1 lemon grass stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 (about 200g) medium squid, cleaned, cut into rings
  • 200g green prawns, peeled, with tails on
  • 150g cleaned scallops
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned flour

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • 2.
    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and add onion. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute until softened. Add garlic and curry paste. Cook for 1 minute to release flavours. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Stir in stock, coconut milk and half the lime leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil over high heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 3.
    Carefully pour the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish, cover with aluminium foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well. If mixture is too dry, add 1/2 cup water or stock. Cover and bake for 10 more minutes. Stir in half the seafood, cover and bake for a further 10 minutes until seafood is cooked through.
  • 4.
    Meanwhile, toss remaining seafood in the seasoned flour.
  • 5.
    Heat remaining oil in a clean frying pan, and when it's hot, add the seafood and cook over high heat until crisp.
  • 6.
    Stir the risotto well. Top with pan-fried seafood and garnish with remaining lime leaves.
