Risotto and scallops sound like a complicated endeavor, best left to the experts who've been to culinary school and have a professional dishwasher at hand. Don't fret dear customer, scallops and risotto can come together in less than an hour with three pots and pans; not as easy as 1,2,3, but was easier than long division or trigonometry. And the flavors, the sweet soft scallops and the creamy tomato-y risotto, will make this worth any effort, and then some. No complications, just delicious flavor-ations.
