TRUFFLED LOBSTER RISOTTO
What could be better than the creamy smoothness of risotto with a hint of truffle combined with the elegance of lobster. If you need, or want, a show-off entree this is perfect for guests or that romantic dinner. There seems to be alot to this recipe but the result is worth it. I have prepared this using both warm and cold water lobster tails and I prefer the cold for its sweetness. For the truffle oil I have only used the black variety.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use the freshest lobster you can find, and make sure the truffles are fragrant and flavorful.
- Cook the rice slowly and carefully: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and don't rush the process. Cook the rice over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is creamy and tender.
- Add the lobster and truffles at the end: This will help to preserve their delicate flavors. Add the lobster and truffles just before serving, and stir them in gently.
- Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is made. The rice will start to lose its creaminess as it sits, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Truffled lobster risotto is a luxurious and delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make, but it does require a little bit of time and patience. If you follow the tips in this recipe, you will be sure to create a delicious and memorable dish.
