Earth meets surf in this creamy risotto dinner, which comes together with a little stirring and a lot of love. The “earth” is the umami-rich, meaty mushrooms. It shakes hands in the frying pan with “surf”: sweet, mouthwatering soft scallops. Nestled atop buttery, cheesy risotto, this is a perfect marriage of the elements for a dinner that's out-of-this-world. Tip: Easier way to mince parsley? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!
