I think we should make it a requirement that people post the recipe for their signature dishes. Scallop and prosciutto risotto sounds delicious
Think I posted it in another thread... Hold on a mo.
Edit: Found it.
To serve 4:
large knob of butter
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
300g risotto rice
300ml white wine
1.2 litres veg stock
1 tbsp olive oil
2 bay leaves
100g proscuitto, cut into strips
200g scallops
200g prawns
handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
4tbsp mascarpone
Melt the butter in a large, deep pan, with the olive oil added in. Cook the onion for around 8 mins till soft. Add the garlic and cook for around 4-5 mins. Add the rice, stir till coated in butter and going opaque, then add the wine and bubble for 2-3 mins.
Add the stock slowly, stirring as you add it. Add the bay leaves. Keep stirring til the rice is creamy - around 20-25 mins. Throw in the prawns around 5 mins from the end. Check the seasoning, cover, and leave to rest for 2-3 mins.
Fry the proscuitto until crisp in olive oil. Set aside on kitchen paper. Cook the scallops in the same pan (around 3-4 minutes).
Stir the parsley and mascarpone into the rice. Divide it between bowls, top with the proscuitto and scallops, and season with black pepper.
Simple, but effective. We both love it.
