Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups Arborio rice
4 cups boiling vegetable broth
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 medium leek, chopped
1 fresh red chile pepper, chopped
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ pound small scallops
1 (14 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in one-third of the boiling vegetable broth; continue stirring until incorporated. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
  • While you are cooking the rice, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan. Stir in the garlic, leeks, red chili, shrimp, and scallops. Cook until the seafood is just beginning to turn color. Add the red bell pepper and spinach; cook until the seafood is opaque. Combine with the rice, and season to taste with pepper.

I had some trouble getting the risotto to the right consistency. It was either too soupy or too dry. I think I need to practice a bit more before I get it right.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices or herbs to really bring out the flavors. Otherwise, it was a good dish.
