Description
A comforting and elegant dish featuring creamy risotto topped with sweet, caramelized scallops.
Ingredients
- Scallops
- Arborio rice
- Chicken broth
- Parmesan cheese
- Lemon
Instructions
- Cook the Arborio rice in chicken broth slowly, stirring often, until the risotto is creamy.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan until hot, add oil, and sear the scallops until they are golden on each side.
- Once the risotto is ready, serve the seared scallops on top of the creamy risotto, garnished with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For best results, use cold, dry scallops and a heavy skillet for searing. Finish the risotto with butter and Parmesan off the heat for a glossy texture.
