Sautéed Scallops With Shredded Duck And Hollandaise Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Make the duck. Heat oven to 325. Remove giblets and neck from duck cavity, and discard or reserve for another use. Cut off excess fat from duck cavity. Place duck on a rack in a deep roasting pan, breast-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Then slide the pan into the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 2 hours.
• Remove duck from oven, and use the point of a sharp knife to prick the skin of the bird, all over the breasts and thighs. Return bird to oven, and cook for 1 to 2 more hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh measures around 155 degrees.
• Increase oven temperature to 450, and cook until the duck is golden and crisp, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven, and transfer the duck to a cutting board. (Let the fat in the pan cool, then store it, covered, in the refrigerator. It is an excellent medium for roasting potatoes.) Allow the duck to rest for a few minutes, then shred it, using two forks to pull the meat apart. Add your favorite barbecue sauce, to taste, or your favorite hoisin sauce, to taste. Keep warm.
• Make the hollandaise. Put yolks into a small container into which you can fit an immersion blender, or into the jar of a blender.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat, then allow it to cool for a few minutes.
• Process the yolks for a couple of seconds, then continue to run the blender as you add the melted butter in a slow and careful stream, until you have a thin, emulsified sauce. Add the cayenne, lemon juice and salt to taste, blend again to combine and keep at room temperature until ready to use.
• Make the scallops. Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
• Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
• To serve the dish, spoon hollandaise on a plate or platter, then top with the scallops, brown-side up. Top scallops with shredded duck (you'll have some leftover for sandwiches tomorrow), and drizzle with hollandaise.

Steps:

• Rinse scallops gently under cold water; drain. If large, cut in half.
• In hot butter in large, heavy skillet, saute shallot 2 minutes. Add scallops in a single layer (do half at a time, if necessary). Saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through - 5-8 minutes.
• With slotted spoon, remove to heated platter; keep warm.
• Add vermouth and parsley to skillet; cook over low heat, stirring to dissolve browned bits, until bubbling - about 1 minute. Pour sauce over the scallops.
• Garnish scallops with lemon wedges and additional parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.
• Remove the mussel from the scallops then with a paper towel pat them dry and season them with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
• Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
• For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.
• And for dessert, rinse strawberries and arrange on a plate. Serve with a glass of Champagne.

Steps:

• Season the steaks liberally with salt and set aside to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Melt the clarified butter in a small saucepan over low heat. To a small saute pan, add the white wine vinegar, black peppercorns, thyme, bay leaf, 1/3 of the shallots and 2 tablespoons water. Turn on the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has mostly reduced, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add 3 to 4 ice cubes and swirl the pan to fully melt the ice and cool down the mixture.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Strain the shallot mixture into a large, heatproof bowl. Add the egg yolks and lemon juice and whisk until the yolks are pale yellow and foamy. Set the bowl over the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs vigorously until frothy, fluffy and starting to thicken slightly. Very slowly, a drop at a time, add the clarified butter while continuing to whisk, until the sauce is thickened but still flows; it should coat the back of a spoon. If the bowl gets too hot or the eggs look like they're in danger of scrambling, immediately pull off the bowl from the heat and add an ice cube to cool it down, then return to the heat. Season to taste with salt. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out. Remove the bowl from the water but reserve the pot of water to blanch the asparagus later.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until the oil shimmers. Add the steaks and sear, without touching the steak, until deep golden brown and crusty, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, and then sear until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium rare, another 5 minutes. Remove the steak and allow it to rest.
• Discard most of the excess olive oil from the pan, then return to medium heat. Add another 1/3 of the shallots, salt to taste and a splash of water to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Add the crabmeat and toss in the pan until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Season the reserved boiling water generously with salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with salt. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender but still slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately plunge the asparagus into the ice bath and set aside.
• Heat a medium saute pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining shallots. Saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and toss until warmed through. Season with salt to taste.
• To serve, plate the steak and top with the crabmeat. Smother with the hollandaise sauce and garnish with chives. Serve alongside the asparagus.

Steps:

• Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and fry for just a min or two before adding the spinach. Cook on a high heat for about 1 min, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften. Drain the leaves and mushrooms in a sieve or small colander set over a bowl, pressing them gently in the sieve to release the juices (the juices will provide the base for the sauce, so don't discard them). Keep warm to one side.
• Heat the oil in a separate clean frying pan. When very hot, add the scallops. Sauté for a couple of mins without disturbing them at all, then add a knob of butter to the pan. Turn the scallops, season with salt and pepper, then baste with the sizzling butter. Continue to cook for a further couple of mins until the scallops are ready.
• While sautéing the scallops, return the saved spinach juices to the pan the spinach and mushrooms were cooked in, then whisk in the remaining knob of butter to create the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
• Now finish in style: Arrange spinach and mushrooms on plates or in bowls, sit the scallops on top, then spoon the nutmeg spinach sauce around.
