risotto made with saffron

  1. Allow the olive oil and shallots to turn translucent in the pan. Add the risotto rice and stir well. Now gradually add white wine and broth, always stirring diligently.
  2. After approx. 20 minutes add both types of saffron and finally fold in the Parmesan. The risotto has to be nice and creamy, but the core of the rice has to be slightly firm to the bite.

Prawns and scallops

  1. Heat some oil in a pan, briefly toast the ginger, add the scallops and fry briefly on both sides. Put a leaf of coriander on each mussel.
  2. Heat some oil in the second pan and add chilli and garlic. Add the prawns and cook until pink.
