SEARED SCALLOPS WITH ROASTED EGGPLANTS AND MARINATED PEPPERS



Seared Scallops with Roasted Eggplants and Marinated Peppers image

Categories     Pepper     Side     Broil     Roast     Scallop     Eggplant     Summer     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 small Japanese eggplants (about 12 ounces total)
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Crushed red chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
12 large sea scallops (1 pound), patted dry
Fresh dill leaves

Steps:

  • Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Use a fork to poke holes all over the eggplants. Put the eggplants on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven. Roast, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and the eggplants are very soft, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel the eggplants and cut in quarters lengthwise. Cut each piece in half crosswise. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the oil, a pinch of chile flakes, and a pinch of salt. Gently stir well.
  • Turn a gas burner to high. Set the peppers directly over the flame and cook, turning frequently, until the skin is charred all over. Alternatively, broil or grill the peppers as close to the heat source as possible. When cool enough to handle, use paper towels to rub off the charred skin. Remove and discard the stems and seeds, then cut each pepper into very thin slices. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Season half the scallops with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan, then add the seasoned scallops, one at a time. Cook until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until a crust forms on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining scallops in the same pan, letting the pan get very hot again and adding more oil if needed.
  • Divide the eggplant mixture among 4 serving dishes. Top with the scallops, then the pepper mixture. Scatter the dill all over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are bruised or have wrinkles.
  • Slice the eggplant evenly: This will help the eggplant cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through.
  • Salt the eggplant slices: This will help to draw out the bitterness from the eggplant. You can either sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes, or you can toss them in a bowl with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes.
  • Rinse the eggplant slices: After the eggplant slices have been salted, rinse them off with water to remove the excess salt.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in many eggplant dishes. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the eggplant slices, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the eggplant from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the eggplant slices until they are golden brown: This will give the eggplant a nice flavor and texture.
  • Layer the eggplant slices with the other ingredients: When assembling the eggplant dish, layer the eggplant slices with the other ingredients, such as tomatoes, cheese, and breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the dish until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the dish is cooked through and that the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Eggplant is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Escalloped eggplant is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, escalloped eggplant is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.
