Scallop risotto with leek

Ingredients

  • Risotto  – 300 g
  • Scallops – 3 pieces
  • Diced leek – 80 g
  • Leek julienne – 20 g
  • Clarified butter – 1 knob
  • Grated Parmesan – 1/2 tbsp
  • Salt and pepper
  • Watercress (decoration)

Bereiding

  1. Melt the leek julienne without browning it and set aside. Sauté the diced leek with a little clarified butter in a pan and set aside.
  2. Heat the risotto in a very hot pan with a little butter and stir constantly until the risotto is ready, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the diced leek and grated Parmesan, mix well and season if necessary.
  3. Sear the scallops in a very hot pan with a little butter. Season them once cooked. Warm the leek julienne in the same pan.
  4. Arrange the risotto on warm plates using a ring mould. Place the scallops neatly on top of the risotto and garnish with the leek julienne and watercress leaves.
