Cauliflower Risotto with Seafood
Cauliflower Risotto with Seafood
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 large head cauliflower
2 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped shallots
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp dried chili flakes
6 oz scallops, diced
6 oz shrimp, diced
1/2 cup chicken stock
3 cups sliced spinach
Method:
Heat 1 Tbsp of the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring occasionally until crumbs are toasted -- about 5 minutes. Reserve.
Core the cauliflower. Break off florets in small, evenly sized pieces. Pulse in a food processor until the cauliflower is the size of peas.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and saute for a minute until beginning to soften. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Increase heat to medium high. Add cauliflower, thyme and chili flakes. Continue to saute for 1-2 minutes until cauliflower begins to brown.
Stir in scallops and shrimp.
Add 1/4 cup of stock, stirring until it is absorbed -- 2 minutes. If cauliflower is not yet tender, add remaining stock.
Add spinach and cook until it has wilted.
Stir in the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter.
Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs.
