Preparation
Melt oil in heavy large saucepan over
medium heat. Add minced onion and sauté until
translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice and sauté
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.
