Food Porn Daily: Sticky Rice Risotto with Seared Scallops

sticky rice risotto and sauteed scallops
I first saw this picture yesterday afternoon, when the post describing it appeared in my Google Reader. I read the entire post, and spent a full minute gazing at those perfectly sauteed scallops. For a moment I considered tossing out my dinner plans (sushi with my boyfriend) in order to replicate this dish. We still ended up going out for sushi, but I've continued to think about that risotto for most of the day. Imagine my delight at discovering this picture in our Flickr pool! Thanks Sunday Nite Dinner, for producing such delicious food and drool-worthy images.

If you create something for dinner tonight, don't forget to take some pictures, join our Slashfood Flickr group and add your photos to the pool! We want to see your tasty creations!

Recipe: Sarah's friend Wes's Scallops and Wild Mushrooms

seared scallops
I used to be afraid of scallops. Like few other things for which there is no explanation other than "maybe I was traumatized by it so badly in my childhood that I can't remember it, but I know I hate it," scallops were deep down in there with roast beef, rice krispies treats, cherry-flavored cough syrup, and the entire cuisine of Vietnam. However, in recent months, I have slowly been facing these fears head on.

Okay, so I am pretty sure that I still can't eat roast beef and rice krispies treats, but I have had some awesome experiences with scallops.

A friend of mine made a dinner of seared scallops that had been seasoned with just basic spices and exotic mushrooms that were sauteed in nothing but butter. Sometimes, the most delicious things are just that uncomplicated.
