Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
250 g rice (Arborio or rice for risotto)
1/2 cup red wine
700 ml fish stock, from 1 cube, hot
350 g mussels, frozen
350 g shrimp, frozen
400 g of whole squid, thawed, cut into rings
1/3 cup canned tomato, chopped
50 g butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup grana padano or 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and toast lightly for 1-2 minutes without letting the rice or onion take on any color.
2
Add the wine and cook until almost completely absorbed. Add most of the hot fish stock (it should come about 1/2 inch above the rice) and bring to a simmer. Cook the risotto, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed some of the liquid, about 8 minutes.
3
Add the mussels, shrimp and squid (tentacles as well), and tomatoes, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is cooked and the rice is al dente, about 6 minutes. As the rice continues to absorb the liquid, add more as needed.
4
Remove the risotto from the heat, add butter Grana Padano or Parmesan cheese. Stir well to release the starches and make the risotto creamy.
5
Season with pepper and serve immediately.
