Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Mince chives.

    Pat scallops dry. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Place a medium pot over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pot. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer mushrooms to a plate. Keep pot over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Start the Risotto

    Add rice to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.

    Add 1 cup boiling water from other medium pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water.

    Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Finish the Risotto

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water to hot pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Stir in mushrooms, cheese, softened butter (to taste), half the chives (reserve remaining for garnish), garlic salt, a pinch of pepper, creme fraiche, and mirepoix base until combined. Cover and set aside.

  5. 5

    Cook Scallops and Finish Dish

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Let heat, 3 minutes.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook undisturbed, 90 seconds.

    After 90 seconds, stir occasionally until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 60-90 seconds.

    Remove from burner. Stir in softened Sicilian sauce (to taste) until melted and combined.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping risotto with scallops. Garnish with remaining chives. Bon appétit!
