Begin by warming the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the diced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until they're beautifully soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to ensure that each grain is coated in the oil and butter mixture. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it looks slightly translucent—a sign that it’s ready to absorb liquid.

Pour in the dry white wine and stir continuously until it’s mostly absorbed by the rice, about 2-3 minutes. This infuses the rice with a delightful depth of flavor.

Slowly incorporate the warmed vegetable stock, one ladle at a time. Stir frequently, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid completely before adding more. This should take around 15-20 minutes until the rice is al dente.

Once the rice reaches that creamy consistency, remove the pan from heat. Gently fold in the heavy cream, Parmesan, Pecorino, and the magnificent sea urchin roe. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

Dish out your risotto while it’s hot, topping each bowl with quail eggs and a sprinkle of toasted nori for added texture and visual appeal.
