Cooking Steps
- Combine 4 1/2 cups water (5 1/2 cups for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate in a medium pot.
- Cover and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then onions. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min.
- Add rice and garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
- Add cooking wine. Cook, stirring often, until evaporated, 1-2 min.
- Add 1 cup broth from the medium pot to the pan with rice. Stir until broth has been absorbed by rice.
- Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring regularly, until liquid is absorbed, texture is creamy and rice is tender, 28-30 min.
- When the last cup of broth has been absorbed and rice is tender and creamy, reduce heat to low.
- Add peas. Cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 3-4 min.
- Add spinach, cream, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice and half the Parmesan. Stir until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- When risotto is almost finished, pat scallops dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then scallops.
- Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 2-3 min per side.**
- Divide risotto between bowls, then top with scallops.
- Sprinkle with chives and remaining Parmesan.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
