Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon white peppercorns
6 whole cloves
1 cup sugar
2 cups kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
16 large sea scallops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Accompaniment: sautéed spinach with pancetta
Special Equipment
a stovetop smoker/cooker and 3 tablespoons fine wood chips such as oak or hickory

Steps:

  • Marinate scallops:
  • Finely grind coriander seeds, peppercorns, and cloves in an electric coffee/spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, then stir together with sugar, kosher salt, cilantro, and zest in a bowl. Cut tough muscles from scallops and toss scallops in salt mixture. Bury scallops in salt mixture and chill, covered, 30 minutes. Rinse scallops lightly and dry well with paper towels.
  • Smoke scallops:
  • Line drip tray of smoker with foil and spread wood chips evenly over center of smoker pan. Put drip tray on top of chips and put a lightly oiled rack in tray. Season scallops lightly with salt and pepper and put on rack. Put smoker on stove, centered on 1 burner, and heat, uncovered, over moderate heat until chips begin to smolder, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, slide cover on, and smoke scallops 15 minutes. Remove smoker from heat (scallops will be partially cooked).
  • Make balsamic glaze:
  • Boil vinegar in a very small heavy saucepan over moderate heat until reduced by about half, about 3 minutes. Keep warm, covered.
  • Sauté scallops:
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then sear scallops until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
  • Serve scallops on sautéed spinach, drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut eggplant and spinach.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or white vinegar.
  • To make the dish vegan, omit the Parmesan cheese.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the sauté over rice, pasta, or quinoa.

Conclusion:

Balsamic eggplant and spinach sauté is a quick, easy, and delicious vegetarian dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a light lunch. The eggplant is tender and flavorful, the spinach wilts down to a tender texture, and the balsamic vinegar adds a tangy sweetness. This dish is also very versatile - you can add other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, or you can serve it over rice, pasta, or quinoa.
