SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH PISTACHIO DRESSING
If you're looking for something to pair wonderfully with a few glasses of amber-hued amontillado, you can't do much better than these tender, burnished sea scallops, inspired by a memorable midcourse of scallops with pistachios and licorice at Restaurant Daniel. Though you're less likely to overcook larger sea scallops, remember that quality is more critical than sheer size. In the market, look for scallops that appear fairly dry; waterlogged scallops will never achieve that ideal caramelized crust.

Steps:
- In a mortar, crush the anise seeds with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic. Place pistachios and tarragon in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add anise mixture, oil, sherry and lemon juice. Process to a thick paste. Transfer to a small saucepan. Whisk in stock or water. Heat on low until tepid. Turn off heat.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or a griddle to very hot. Dry scallops. Brush a slick of oil on the pan, lower heat a bit and place scallops in the pan. Sear on medium-high until handsomely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. You'll know when the scallops have browned enough when they can be lifted with your spatula without ruinous sticking. Lightly dust scallops with salt, then turn them. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until scallops are browned on the bottom and just cooked through, another 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, gently warm the sauce. Whisk and add a smidgen of salt if needed.
- Spoon some of the sauce in the center of each of 4 warm dinner plates. Poise 3 to 4 of the scallops around the edges of the sauce pool and garnish with tarragon.

Steps:
- Cut the fennel into quarters and steam it until it is just tender (about 15 minutes).
- Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the fennel. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly browned on all sides.
- Soften the shallots and the garlic in the remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. Saute the scallops in two batches over high heat, browning them lightly on both sides. Remove them to a warm bowl.
- Add the orange juice, balsamic vinegar and rosemary leaves. Scrape up the cooking juices and simmer them until you have a light glaze. Pour the sauce over the scallops and toss them. Correct seasoning and serve.

- Thaw scallops, if frozen. Rinse scallops; pat dry with paper towels. Make a horizontal cut through the center of each scallop, cutting almost to, but not through, the opposite side. Chill scallops until needed.
- Cut off and discard fennel stalks, reserving the wispy leaves. Remove any wilted outer layers from bulb; cut a thin slice from the base. Cut bulb lengthwise into quarters; cut core out of each quarter. Snip enough of the leaves to measure 2 tablespoons; set aside.
- Finely shred 1 teaspoon peel from one of the oranges. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, use a small sharp knife to peel and section oranges. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice.
- For gremolata, in a small bowl combine the 2 tablespoons fennel leaves, the 1 teaspoon orange peel, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the parsley, and the 1 tablespoon pistachios. For vinaigrette, in a screw-top jar combine the 1 tablespoon orange juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar, and honey. Cover and shake well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
