That risotto looks amazing! The creaminess of the rice and the golden sear on the scallops scream “perfect bite.”
I really like how you achieved that vibrant color in the risotto without it looking dry—that’s where many people go wrong. Did you get that texture by properly finishing it with butter at the end, or did you add an extra touch?

🪄 Thanks for joining the challenge! Just don’t forget to mention the culinary techniques you used in your post to make your participation valid. You can edit it and include the techniques we’ve highlighted below:

In your dish, I can see you used:

1. Risotto (absorption cooking method) – Cooking the rice by gradually adding broth to achieve a creamy texture without making it soupy.

2. Seared scallops – Using high heat to create a golden crust while keeping the inside tender.

3. Plating – A balanced presentation, with the scallops evenly placed over the risotto so every bite has a bit of everything.

Thanks for sharing it with the community!

Best regards.

Welcome to our Community, Chef! Congratulations on joining the #TecnicasChallenge! 🎉 Your butternut squash risotto with pan-seared scallops looks absolutely stunning—perfectly golden sear on the scallops and that creamy risotto texture is pure elegance. Did you infuse the squash into the stock, or did you fold it in at the end for a richer bite? Either way, this dish screams balance and refinement. 👏
