Grind saffron threads into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
Add a few tablespoons of boiling water.
Steep for 15–20 minutes.
1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and risotto rice, cooking until the shallots are soft and the rice is lightly toasted.
2. Begin adding the stock, one cup at a time. Stir continuously, allowing the rice to absorb the stock before adding more. Continue this process until the rice reaches a creamy consistency.
3. With the last cup of stock, add a pinch of saffron.
4. Once the final liquid is almost absorbed, stir in the lobster meat, chopped chives, and parsley.
5. Remove from heat and gently mix in the marine collagen and cheese until well combined.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

A Lovely Note And Recipe from Ruth Reichl
It was December 2nd 2024 at 2 PM, that I noticed we got many orders within few hours. By 5 PM, that day we had 156 orders in our backlog. And 10 orders ready to leave our warehouse.
Even we had Black Friday Cyber Monday Sale going on. Still this was not normal to get 160 orders within few hours.
I looked into our analytics, and noticed a link from ruthreichl.substack.com referring traffic to our website.
Finally, ready that link. And visiting a client at a local market, found the answer why? I could not believe, Ruth wrote about us.
