Method:

For Risotto:
Wash risotto, drain well.

Sweat shallots, garlic, andouille and sundried tomatoes in olive oil.

Add rice and sauté 2 minutes, then add smoked paprika. In stages, slowly add tomato juice until rice is cooked, do not boil. Add mascarpone, parmesan, herbs and salt.

Spread mixture on 2 cm thick flat tray. Cool, and then cut into 2 ½ - inch squares. Wrap squares with 2 pancetta slices each.

For Escabeche:
Wash shellfish. Bring fish stock and white wine to boil. Add shellfish, cover, and cook until just opening. Drain, reserving small amount of cooking liquid, and cool shellfish. Once cool, remove shells.

Combine olive oil, lime juice, sugar, seasoning and cilantro. Pour marinade over shellfish while still warm. Marinate. Add cooking juices for more flavor.

For Jus:
Sweat vegetables and herbs in olive oil until soft and mildly caramelized.

Sear fish bones in oil until golden. Add tomatoes, spices and orange zest to vegetables. Cover and cook 40 minutes.

Add saffron with rest of ingredients to pot and just cover with water. Bring to boil. Simmer 30 minutes.

Blend with large hand blender and pass through sieve. Reduce as quickly as possible until deep flavor is achieved. After, season to taste and blend in olive oil.
