Recipe: Risotto ai Ricci di Mare (Sea Urchin Risotto)

In Italy, sea urchins are known as Ricci di Mare.  They are mostly eaten during summer and simply straight from the shell, however they also commonly appear as an ingredient in pasta dishes.

One of my favourite way of eating cooked ricci di mare, is with risotto.  Please check out my Risotto ai Ricci di Mare recipe here!

Recipe: Sea Urchin (Uni) Shooters

Sea urchins (aka Uni) - these spiky and unfriendly looking sea creatures open up to reveal a treasure chest of golden jewels, the gonads (commonly referred to as 'roe' or 'tongues').

Sea urchins have long been considered a delicacy in many cultures.

Sea urchin is usually eaten raw with a squeeze of lemon, or dipped in a light soy. Nowadays, many more ways of eating sea urchin have been developed - like shooting it!
