INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE:
300 g of vialone nano rice
1 shallot
8 shelled scallops
80 g of shelled pistachios
1 liter of fish broth
1 dl of dry white wine
butter
salt and pepper
Stew the chopped shallots in a saucepan with a knob of butter, add the rice and toast it for 3-4 minutes, stirring.
Deglaze with the wine, then pour a ladle of hot broth and cook the risotto by adding the rest of the broth, little by little.
Blanch the pistachios for 1 minute in boiling water, drain and rub them in a towel to remove the cuticles.
Chop them finely and add half to the risotto together with 4 scallops cut into small pieces.
Brown the scallops left over high heat with a knob of butter, 1 minute per side and salt them.
Divide the risotto on the plates, sprinkle it with the remaining pistachio powder, arrange a scallop on each one, pepper and serve.
