Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Season cod fillets, scallops, and shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside for marinating while you prepare the risotto.

Cooking Risotto

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.

  3. 4

    Add the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, allowing it to toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the rice with oil.

  4. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the chicken or vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  5. 6

    Finish with Spinach and Parmesan

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the baby spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Cooking Seafood

  1. 7

    Cook the Seafood

    While the risotto is cooking, heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated cod, scallops, and shrimp. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the seafood is fully cooked and opaque.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the risotto onto plates, top with the cooked seafood, and drizzle with balsamic glaze to finish. Serve immediately.
