SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS, FRESH HERB SALAD, AND ROASTED GARLIC BEURRE BLANC
Steps:
- Beurre Blanc: Combine the shallots, lemon juice, wine, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves, and roasted garlic in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil and reduce until almost dry, leaving about 1/8 cup. Reduce heat to low and add the cream. Begin adding the butter, 1 cube at a time, whisking continuously. As each cube incorporates into the sauce, add another until all butter has been added. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you feel that the sauce is too acidic, add a bit of honey to balance the flavor. Be sure to use only a small amount of honey so as not to make the sauce taste too sweet. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Mushrooms: Place a saute pan over high heat and add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you just begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the pan. Add the mushrooms and begin to saute until the mushrooms are cooked halfway. Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and continue to saute, keeping the mushrooms moving at all times. When the mushrooms are just cooked through add the fresh herbs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Cover and keep warm while you saute the scallops.
- Scallops: In a bowl, toss the sea scallops lightly in 1/2 cup canola oil. Season each scallop evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Put a saute pan that is large enough to hold the scallops in 1 layer without them touching over high heat. Add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the oil. Add the scallops to the pan carefully and allow them to get a deep golden brown color. Turn the scallops and allow the second side to get the same golden brown color. If you want the scallops to be more cooked, place the scallops in a preheated 350 degree F oven until they reach the desired doneness. Serve with mushrooms and drizzle with buerre blanc sauce.
HERB-ROASTED MUSHROOMS
My husband grows herbs, and we use whatever's in season. Our favorite blend is oregano, rosemary and basil, but we suggest trying parsley, dill and mint, too. - Jennifer Larison, Tucson, Arizona

Steps:
- 3 lbs large Idaho potatoes, a scant 2/3 cup (not quite 2/3 cup) of pasta flour, 2 eggs,3/4 to 1 cup of soft blue cheese,3 tbsp chopped mixed herbs (chervil, parsley, chives, basil),Salt and pepper,olive oil, to drizzle and fry.
- 1 tbsp butter Bake the potatoes in the oven until the skin is crisp on the outside and the potato is soft and fluffy in the middle. Scoop out the flesh then pass through a mouli until completely smooth and there are no lumps (a food mill would also work for this).
- Lay the potatoes out on the work surface and dust with flour. Mix together.
- Make a well in the middle of the potato and flour mix. Beat the eggs and cheese together and pour into the well. Gradually fold together the potato and flour mix into the wet ingredients then add the herbs and seasoning to taste.
- Scoop the mixture into a bowl and cool until firm. Shape the mixture into long sausages, about 1.5cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 2-3 cm lengths with the back of a knife so the ends are blunted a little.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi. As soon as they float to the surface, give them another 30 seconds then fish out with a slotted spoon into a bowl of ice-cold water. Repeat with the rest. Drain then dry completely with kitchen paper or in a clean tea towel. Toss in a little olive oil.
- Heat some oil and the butter in a frying pan and brown the blanched gnocchi for a few minutes, turning them, until nicely caramelized all over.
- To cook chicken, 2 chickens (both chicken breasts, bone in),Small bunch of thyme,2 sprigs of rosemary, 1 bay leaf,1 head of garlic, halved horizontally,2 lemons, sliced,1 tsp white peppercorns,1 tsp coriander seeds,sea salt and black pepper,2 tbsp olive oil,2 tbsp butter.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a baking dish, combine all other ingredients and then add the chicken on top. Place in a 375ºF oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Garnish per plate, 2 baby carrots,1 salsify baton,1 baby leek, A few white mushrooms (or other seasonal variety), chopped, Olive oil, A few truffle slices, if available
- Blanch the carrots, parsnip and carrots in boiling water for 1-2 minutes then dip in ice and water bath to stop the cooking process. Then sauté them with the mushrooms in olive oil and check for seasoning.
- To serve, carve the breast meat from the bone and arrange the chicken with the herb gnocchi, pan-roasted baby carrots, leek, parsnip and mushrooms then scatter with a few slices of truffle, if available.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Select firm, fresh mushrooms with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller mushrooms are generally more flavorful, while larger ones can be sliced or quartered for even cooking.
- Clean Mushrooms Properly: Gently wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid rinsing them under water, as this can make them soggy and less flavorful.
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for roasting mushrooms, as it has a rich flavor and high smoke point. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a lighter-tasting olive oil or even avocado oil.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme are all great options. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Roast at a High Temperature: Roasting mushrooms at a high temperature (400°F or higher) will help them caramelize and develop a delicious crispy exterior.
- Don't Crowd the Mushrooms: Make sure to spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Roast Until Golden Brown: The mushrooms are done roasting when they are golden brown and slightly tender. They should have a slightly crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
