🥛Milk🦐ShellfishSwaps and substitutions
For a pork-free version, swap the bacon for smoked turkey, or leave it out and add extra mushrooms for savoriness. To avoid shellfish, replace the scallops with seared chicken or extra vegetables; for dairy-free, use a plant-based hard cheese instead of Parmesan.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or lightly dressed bitter leaves to balance the rich, creamy risotto. Warm crusty bread also works well for mopping up the sauce and makes the plate feel more complete.
