SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BASIL RISOTTO
There's just something about the caramelized crust and meaty interior of scallops that makes them the perfect protein. They are also a total blank canvas, so it's important to let them shine with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. However, that means whatever scallops are served with has to take the lead with big, bold flavor. Cue basil-pineapple risotto! Once you make risotto with pineapple juice, you'll be hard-pressed to go without it ever again. If you're looking to wow guests with a meal they'd be most likely to find in a five-star restaurant, then this is your dish.Excerpted from THE SECRET INGREDIENT COOKBOOK © 2021 by Kelly Senyei.

- Step 1: Combine 2 cups pineapple juice and 1 1/2 cups broth in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat.
- Step 2: Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add 1/3 cups minced onion and 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/4 cups rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Continue cooking thescallops an additional 1 minute, until no longer translucent. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil as needed.
- Step 6: Divide the risotto among serving plates and top with the scallops. Garnish with microgreens and serve.

Steps:
- Put 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides, adjusting heat so they brown nicely; they need not cook through. Remove them to a plate.
- Turn off heat, cool pan a bit and wipe out. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. When it melts, add shallots, garlic, chile flakes and a little more salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, or until shallots soften.
- Add wine, raise heat a bit, and let bubble away for a minute or so until reduced by about 1/2; add cream and repeat. When liquid is thick, return scallops and juices to pan.
- Cook for about a minute, stirring in 1/2 the basil, until scallops are just firm. Taste and adjust seasoning, transfer to small bowls or plates with a bit of sauce, garnish with remaining basil, and serve.
