  3. Cook rice till the texture’s al dente.
  4. Finish the risotto with soft butter, parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

TO GREMOLATE THE GREMOLATA:

  1. Just combine all ingredients together. That’s it!

TO MAKE THE WHOLE THING LOOK REALLY FANCY:

  1. Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle small circles of red wine reduction onto the plate.
  2. Scoop 2 oz of risotto onto the center of the plate.
  3. Place three scallops on top of the risotto.
  4. Drizzle some gremolata onto scallops.
  5. Garnish the dish with a Parmesan crisp and parley sprig.
