Brown Butter Scallops With Parmesan Risotto

INGREDIENTS:

parmesan risotto:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 minced clove garlic or 1 minced shallot (or both)
• 1 cup arborio rice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 3-ish cups of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

seared scallops:

• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 1 pound jumbo scallops

sauteed spinach or kale:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 4 cups spinach or kale

brown butter:

• 3 tablespoons butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. For the Risotto: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic or shallots and saute for a minute or two, until soft and fragrant. Add the arborio rice, stir to coat with butter. Add the white wine and enjoy the sizzles. Add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and simmer/stir after each addition until the rice is soft and creamy. I usually err on the side of more liquid to get a creamier texture. Add the parmesan and stir until incorporated. Salt + pepp to taste.
2. For the Seared Scallops: Heat oil in nonstick skillet. Pat scallops dry (VERY DRY, as dry as possible), sprinkle with salt, and add to pan. They should sizzle (if not, you need a hotter pan.) Shake gently to prevent sticking. After 2-3 minutes, flip each scallop over. They should have a pretty golden brown exterior and an opaque inside. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.
