PREPARATION
PREPARING THE RISOTTO
1.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter.
2.
Add 1 clove minced garlic and saute for a minute or two, until soft and fragrant.
3.
Add the arborio rice, stir to coat with butter.
4.
Add the white wine and mix well.
5.
Add the broth, ½ cup at a time, and simmer/stir after each addition until the rice is soft and creamy.
6.
Add the parmesan and stir until incorporated. Salt + pepper to taste.
SEARING THE SCALLOPS
7.
Heat grape seed oil in nonstick skillet.
8.
Pat scallops dry (VERY DRY, as dry as possible), sprinkle with salt, and add to pan.

Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
WILTING THE KALE
12.
Heat the olive oil over medium low heat.
13.
Add one clove minced garlic and stir for a minute to get the flavor going.
14.
dd the kale and stir until wilted.
PREPARING THE BROWN BUTTER
15.
Put three tablespoons of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat and stir it while watching it closely.
16.
When it starts to look golden and foamy, remove from heat, transfer to a heat-proof bowl to cool slightly, then drizzle over the risotto, scallops, and greens.
