One of the most delicious and memorable dishes I ever created was a saffron-infused risotto with seared scallops. I started by slowly simmering Arborio rice with homemade vegetable broth, allowing it to absorb the flavors gradually while stirring in a pinch of saffron threads. The vibrant yellow color from the saffron was stunning!
Once the risotto reached a creamy consistency, I folded in some fresh peas and grated Parmesan cheese for richness. The scallops were the highlight – I seared them in a hot pan with a bit of butter until they were golden and caramelized, then placed them delicately on top of the risotto.
I garnished the dish with a sprinkle of microgreens and a drizzle of lemon-infused olive oil for brightness. The combination of creamy, savory risotto with the sweet, perfectly cooked scallops was unforgettable. Sharing it with friends over a bottle of crisp white wine made it even more special!
