Bisque

1 - Prepare the bisque: cook the lobsters in a steamer (or in a nage or court-bouillon) for 4 min at 75°C. Shell the lobsters. In a casserole dish, roast the lobster heads and carcasses until nicely colored. Add the onion, carrots and tomato paste and cook for 2 min. Deglaze and flambé with cognac. Add water to the top and cook for 20 min after boiling. Strain and reduce to a highly concentrated juice. Add the cream and butter.

2 - Prepare the risotto: cook the spelt in vegetable stock for 45 min. In a sauté pan, cook the spelt with half the bisque, butter, Parmesan, cebette and mascarpone until you obtain a creamy risotto. Season with salt and pepper.
