5 from 2 votes
Get all the rich, creamy goodness of risotto without the heavy-carb guilt with this light and elegant dish. Lightning fast to make and a dream to eat, the quick-cooking cauliflower "rice" - laden with savory Parmesan and chicken stock - and delicate scallops play perfectly with the lightly citrusy tuft of frisée.
Course: Main Course, Dinner, Quick & Easy
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 2 One Serving: 1/2 of a 2 serving recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp chopped shallot
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1⅓ cup riced cauliflower
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 6 large scallops (1/4 pound total), about 1 inch thick each
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 cups loosely packed frisée lettuce
  • 1 lemon, quartered

Instructions

  • In a large sauté pan, heat half of the oil over medium heat.
  • Turn the heat down, add the shallot, and cook, stirring frequently to avoid browning, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, turn the heat to medium, and simmer to soften the shallot and reduce the liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the parmesan and butter. Set the risotto aside.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • In a small sauté pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and sauté the scallops until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • To serve, divide the risotto between dinner plates, top with a tangle of frisée, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Divide the scallops among the dishes, and serve with a lemon wedge.
