Risotto of Scallops with Leeks and Parmesan

Ingredients

– 30 g raw risotto rice

– 150 g scallops

– 1 white leek

– 30 g parmesan shavings

– Salt, pepper

Preparation

– Fry the scallops in a non-stick pan over low heat.

– Wash and cut the leek into rings (try to separate them from each other).

– Add the slices of leeks and the rice to the pan and cover with water (it can also be a vegetable and/or poultry broth if you prefer).

– Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the time needed for the rice to cook, here, it was 18 minutes). Do not hesitate to stir from time to time to mix the food together but especially to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

– When the water has evaporated, taste to check the cooking of the rice: if you like the cooking, remove it from the heat. Otherwise, add a little bit of water and cook until it evaporates. And so on, until you like the cooking.

– Salt, pepper and mix.

– Place the risotto on a deep plate and sprinkle with parmesan (it will melt on the hot rice, you will love it!).
