Scallops

Lobster Sauce

Truffle Risotto

Sautéed Trumpet Mushrooms

Method

Prepare Scallops

  1. 1

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Make Lobster Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add butter and sauté chopped shallots and minced garlic until translucent.

  2. 3

    Deglaze and Reduce

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Let it reduce by half.

  3. 4

    Add Stock and Cream

    Add lobster stock and heavy cream, simmering for about 10 minutes until thickened. Stir in lemon juice and chopped chives before serving.

Make Truffle Risotto

  1. 5

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Toast Rice

    Add Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  3. 7

    Add Broth Gradually

    Slowly add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. This should take about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 8

    Finish Risotto

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Sauté Trumpet Mushrooms

  1. 9

    Cook Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced trumpet mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Plate the Dish

  1. 10

    Serve

    On each plate, create a bed of truffle risotto, arrange seared scallops on top, drizzle with lobster sauce, and garnish with sautéed trumpet mushrooms.
