generous pinch saffron
1/2 onion, finely chopped

Saute onions and peppers in olive oil until soft. Add saffron, tomato, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add rice and stir, coating grains with oil. Add wine and stock and bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat while scallops are prepared.

Season scallops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan until very very hot--almost smoking. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes per side. Pan must be very hot. Do not turn scallops early, or they will stick.
