Grilled Sea Scallops on Forest Mushroom Risotto is classic combo. Kind of like Wieners and Kraft Dinner, only more gourmet, savoury, delicious, tastier, better for you, more … Okay it’s nothing like KD & Wiens except that it’s a combo. Scallops are easy and quick to cook. I just toss them in a little olive oil and fresh ground black pepper, grill them for a couple of minutes on each side and that’s it. There is so much flavour in the the risotto, it’s nice to keep the scallops simple and enjoy their clean fresh taste. It’s great that the scallops are so simple because the risotto takes a little more effort. Please do me a kindness and have a bottle of your favorite red wine with this dish.
