Scallops With Apple Curry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped apple and onion to pan; sauté until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add wine, cream and stock; stir until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, basil and rosemary. Remove from heat. Brush scallops with melted herb butter. Grill or broil scallops until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide scallops among 4 plates. Spoon sauce over scallops and serve.

Steps:

• Cook carrots in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Add cucumbers and cook until all vegetables are crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer. Drain well. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add scallops; sauté until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
• Add cream, ginger and curry powder to same skillet. Add any accumulated juices from scallops on platter. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter; whisk until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return scallops to skillet. Add carrots and cucumbers; toss to combine. Cook just until scallops and vegetables are heated through, about 1 minute.

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; stir 30 seconds. Add Calvados (brandy may ignite); boil 30 seconds. Add cream; boil 2 minutes. Transfer sauce base to bowl. (Sauce base can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 8 scallops.
