Seared Sea Scallops With Fresh Fava Bean Puree And Shiitake Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
• Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, cumin, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add onion and garlic; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add scallops; cook and stir until opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• In a very hot pan with olive oil, sear the scallops; season with salt and pepper. Saute spinach with garlic and white wine to scald the spinach.

• Combine all ingredients. On a griddle using pan spray, drop 1 ounce of batter. Cook until golden brown.;
• Reduce wine, orange juice, garlic, shallots, and thyme to sec (dry). Add heavy cream; reduce by half. Whisk in butter. Slowly finish with honey.;
• Using a vegetable peeler, cut curls from sweet potato. Deep fry until crisp.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, thyme and lemon pepper. Roll scallops in flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add 4 scallops to the pan and sear on all sides (about 2 minutes for each side). After turning scallops, add 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Remove scallops from pan and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Repeat until remaining scallops are cooked, tossing each batch with parsley and lemon juice.
