Risotto

When wine has been absorbed begin adding chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, allowing rice to fully absorb liquid each time before adding more. Continue to add broth and cook down until the rice is starchy and fully cooked.
Add tomato and stir. Add cream and Parmesan cheese. Add crabmeat and fold gently to inforporate. Remove from heat.
Flounder
Add olive oil and butter to a large nonstick pan set over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
Season the top sides of the flounder filets with salt, pepper, and Danie's house seasoning. add to pan, seasoned side down, and cook for 3 minutes.
Season bottom sides of filets as above and flip over in pan. Add wine. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until fish flakes.
Heat a low broiler. Divide tomato slices and cheese slices atop the flounder filets. Place pan under broiler long enough for the cheese to melt over the fish.
