Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch     Side Dish

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 medium sweet potato (about 2 cups diced into 1/4 inch dice)
1/3 cup chopped pecans
3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup Arborio rice (about 6 to 7 ounces)
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Optional Garnish: 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion tops or fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat 4 cups of vegetable broth to the boiling point; reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep it hot.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the minced shallot and pecans, cook until shallot is tender.
  • Add the rice to the shallot and pecan mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sweet potato. Stir about 3/4 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Stir about 3/4 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding liquid, about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice and sweet potato are tender, but not overly soft. The texture should be creamy and a little loose. This will take about 25 minutes and about 3 to 4 cups of broth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese.
  • Taste and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese and garnish with green onion or parsley, if desired.

Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 shallots, brunoise
1 tablespoon butter
4 large sweet potatoes, brunoise (needs to be the size of risotto)
3 to 4 cups hot chicken broth
2 pounds large scallops, U-10's or bigger (10 scallops/pound)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
1 pound chanterelles, cleaned
Salt and black pepper to taste
Canola oil to cook
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon truffle oil
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
1 pound haricot verts, blanched and shocked
1 bunch chives cut into batons (1-inch)
Truffle oil to garnish
Salt and Black pepper to taste
1 large sweet potato, spaghetti cut using turning slicer
1 Peruvian purple potato, peeled and sliced
Salt to taste
Canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • It is important that the sweet potato 'risotto' dice are all the same size. Traditional risotto cooking technique is used. In a 2 quart casserole, first saute the shallots in butter and season. Add the sweet potato and saute. Slowly add the hot chicken stock, one ladle at a time. Only add more stock after the previous ladle is fully absorbed. Continue adding stock until the 'risotto' gets creamy, but not mushy. The individual grains of 'risotto' should remain distinct.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper. In very hot saute pan, coat with oil and sear the scallops until brown. Flip scallops and brown other side. Total cooking time should be about 8 minutes. Wipe pan out, return to high heat, coat with canola oil, add garlic and ginger and saute until soft. Add chanterelles and season. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • HARICOTS VERTS SALAD: In a stainless steel bowl, mix lemon juice, truffle oil and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss vinaigrette with the haricots verts. Check for seasoning. Garnish with chives.
  • FUNKY SWEET POTATO GARNISH: Wrap the sweet potato hair around a slice of purple potato. In a 300-degree fryer, fry until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Salt to taste and drain well.
  • PLATING: Using a ring mold or pvc pipe, fill bottom third with the hot chanterelles, then cover with 'risotto.' Place in the center of a plate. Surround with scallops and top with haricot verts salad. Garnish with truffle oil, chive batons and funky garnish.
