Scallops

Fermented Garlic Honey

Method

Fermented Garlic Honey

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fermented Garlic Honey

    In a clean jar, combine honey, garlic cloves, and apple cider vinegar. Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

Rosewater Risotto

  1. 2

    Cook the Risotto

    In a saucepan, heat vegetable broth and keep it warm. In another pot, melt butter over medium heat, add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent. Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Gradually add warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed. Repeat until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese, rosewater, salt, and pepper to taste.

Scallops

  1. 3

    Prepare the Scallops

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Finely chop the pistachios and mix with salt and black pepper. Pat the scallops dry, brush with olive oil, and press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each scallop. Place the scallops on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the rosewater risotto as a bed on the plate, top with pistachio crusted scallops, and drizzle with fermented garlic honey.
