I still cook...

I haven't posted a food post in such a long time.  I still cook, but been too lazy to take pics.  Last night Bandie wanted to eat scallops so I made this.  It turned out pretty good!  


Ingredients:
1 cup rice
1.5 cups chicken broth
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 lemon (lemon juice and zest)
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
2 cups spinach
15-20 scallops
salt pepper
olive oil
butter
1) In a pan, heat olive oil.  Saute onion and garlic for a min and then add rice.  Saute until rice becomes translucent.
2) Add white wine, cook 3 min.  Add chicken broth and lemon juice/zest and stir.  Cover pan, low heat and cook for 15 min.  Pat dry scallops and put salt/pepper on scallops while rice cooks.
3) Add spinach, cook 1 min.  Stir in mascarpone cheese.  Combine well.  Cover and reserve.
4) In a non-stick skillet, heat butter and sear scallops for 3 min on each side.  
5) Top rice with scallops.
