Bug Preparation
Gently cook the Moreton Bay Bug to avoid overcooking and drying out the meat. Poaching or steaming is often preferred to retain moisture and tenderness.
Risotto Technique
Slowly add warm stock to the Arborio rice, stirring constantly to release the starch and create a creamy texture. The rice should be al dente, with a slight bite.
Flavor Infusion
Infuse the stock with the shells of the Moreton Bay Bugs to create a deeper seafood flavor in the risotto.
Freshness is Key
Using the freshest possible Moreton Bay Bugs significantly impacts the overall flavor of the dish. Opt for live bugs whenever possible or, at the very least, those that have been recently caught and properly stored.
