Best 5 Grilled Scallops With Kale And Olives Recipes

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH KALE AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Rub the grill grate with a little oil and put it 3 or 4 inches from the heat.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH FARRO AND PLUM SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the farro as the label directs. Meanwhile, whisk the orange juice, vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the plums, fennel, shallot and jalapeño and toss well to coat.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Toss the scallops with the coriander, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
• Fluff the farro with a fork and add it to the plum-fennel mixture. Stir in the mint. Divide the farro salad among plates and top with the scallops.

CREAMY LEMONY SCALLOPS, OVER KALE AND JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Scallops -- Bring the scallops to room temperature while you start the other side dishes.
• Rice -- I used Jasmine, just the boil in bag rice. Now you can use any rice you want or have on hand. But I was in a hurry and this in the cabinet, and it works just fine. Five minutes in the microwave in a bowl of water and it is so quick and easy, why not? Just follow the directions on the box or bag. This recipe serves 4 so I like about 1/2 cup per serving. I actually used 2 bags. But again, use anything you want.
• After the rice is done, add butter, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to taste, lemon zest, lemon juice. Mix well and cover and set to the side. It is done. You can reheat for 30 seconds in the micro if necessary. But it should stay warm covered.
• Kale -- In a large saute pan (non stick is NOT preferred). Add butter and olive oil. Bring to medium high heat and add the garlic and shallot and saute until slightly soft, 1-2 minutes. Add the kale and chicken broth and cook until slightly wilted it only takes a couple of minutes. Then add the vinegar, salt and pepper and remove to a bowl, cover and set to the side.
• Scallops -- In the same pan you cooked the kale in after lightly wiping clean, melt olive oil and butter. Pat your scallops dry and salt and pepper well. Cook on medium high heat until nice and golden brown on one side and then flip. Don't move them around, just let them get a cut crust on the first side before flipping. At least 2-3 minutes. Once flipped the other side doesn't take that long. Remove and cover with foil.
• Sauce -- In that same pan (we are saving pots and pans with this dish) add the white wine to deglaze the pan, reduce the heat to medium / medium low and add the chicken broth, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper and cream. Cook 2-3 minutes still on medium heat. Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice. Heat just a minute and check seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
• Serving -- Add a spoon of the rice on each plate about 1/2 cup, then top with the kale, and top it off with the seared scallops. Drizzle with the creamy lemon sauce and enjoy! That is just perfect.
• It may seem like a lot -- but each part is very quick and very easy. When I make this I just get everything ready as it goes so quick.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS AND TOMATOES WITH OLIVE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a blender blend olives, roasted pepper, garlic, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. With motor running, add 3 tablespoons oil in a stream and blend vinaigrette until emulsified.
• Discard small tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and in a small bowl toss scallops with remaining tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over high heat until hot and grill scallops until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer scallops to a plate and keep warm. Grill tomatoes over high heat until tender and lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Toss arugula with half the vinaigrette and divide between 2 plates. Top arugula with scallops and tomatoes and serve with remaining vinaigrette if desired.
