Steps:
- For the carrot butter: Juice the carrots using a juicer (you should have 4 cups/1liter). If you don't have a juicer you can use store-bought carrot juice.
- Bring the carrot juice to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until reduced to 1 cup (250 ml), about 45 minutes. Add the diluted cornstarch. Slowly add the melted butter, using a hand mixer or whisk to incorporate it. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the risotto: Heat the vegetable stock in a saucepan.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the celeriac, parsley roots, parsnips, salsify and shallots. Add vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and cooking until almost all the liquid has been absorbed before adding more. Continue cooking and adding stock until the vegetables are cooked but still al dente, about 25 minutes. Stir in the butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- For the mushrooms: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the mushrooms until golden brown. Season with steak spice. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the mushrooms for 5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the vegetable risotto among dishes and top with the mushrooms. Drizzle with carrot butter and garnish with micro herbs.
- Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Lower the heat and add the carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley roots and leeks. Cook until the vegetables are slightly colored, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, peppercorns, celery leaves and parsley leaves. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes (it's important not to cook it for too long). Strain, cool and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:
- For the Carrot Butter: Melt the butter.
- In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, let the carrot juice reduce by half. It will take approximately 25 minutes.
- Once it's reduced, transfer the reduced juice to a tall, hand blender friendly container.
- Slowly pour in the butter, and blend to create an emulsion. Basically, you want a uniform color a sure sign that the butter and juice have come together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- You can store it in an airtight container in your fridge, but you need to reheat it before using again as the butter will harden, and give it another buzz.
- For the scallops: Score the scallops with a checkerboard pattern and season with salt and pepper.
- In a pan on high heat, add a splash of canola oil. Add the scallops and cook 2 minutes per side. Plate him or her on a simple white dish. Drizzle a generous amount of the carrot butter over each scallop and garnish with a handful of micro arugula.
