  • ½ roasted squash

  • Pinch of saffron
  • 2 bay leaves

  2. In a sauté pan soften your shallot in a drizzle of oil and then add in your rice. Stir for 2 mins and then add your squash followed by a ladle of stock. Enrich your stock with some saffron and bay.Cook the risotto for 15-20 mins gradually adding stock and stirring until soft but retaining a little nutty bite. Meanwhile heat a non-stick frying pan and sear your scallops with a little oil.
