CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM



Seared Scallops with Corn Cream image

This recipe for seared scallops on fresh corn cream shows that you can take a few seasonal ingredients, put them together simply and quickly, and produce something pretty special. There are three keys to producing sufficiently seared scallops. First, they must be perfectly dry. Second, the oil goes on the cold scallops, not in the hot pan. Third, your pan must be extremely hot, which means you have to use a very heavy, cast iron or stainless steel pan.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
12 large sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 red Fresno pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 splash water
1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup radish sprouts, or to taste

Steps:

  • Stir corn kernels, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour corn mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed corn mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Season with salt to taste.
  • Toss scallops, Fresno pepper, canola oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl until scallops are completely coated. Separate pepper slices from scallops.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Cook and stir sliced peppers on the side of the skillet while the scallops are cooking.
  • Remove skillet from heat; transfer scallops to a plate, leaving peppers in hot skillet. Stir water and 1 tablespoon butter into peppers until butter melts. Drizzle lemon juice over peppers; stir to glaze peppers completely.
  • Divide corn cream between four bowls. Place 3 scallops over corn puree and top with glazed peppers. Garnish with radish sprouts.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallop     Corn     Chile Pepper     Summer     Green Onion/Scallion     Sausage     Pork     Buttermilk     Cilantro     Lime Juice     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ears of corn, husked
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 oz. smoked Spanish chorizo, finely chopped
12 scallions, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2-1 serrano chile (depending on heat), finely chopped
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
12 large sea scallops (about 1 lb.), side muscle removed, patted dry
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 lime, halved
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut kernels from corncobs and place in a medium bowl. Using the back of a chef's knife, scrape milk from cobs into the bowl; discard cobs.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, until it starts to get crisp, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour chorizo oil into a small bowl (use a slotted spoon to hold back chorizo); set chorizo oil aside. Return chorizo pan to medium heat and add scallions, garlic, chile, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright yellow and softened, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let corn mixture cool in pan 5 minutes. Gently mix in buttermilk and cilantro. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Season scallops generously with salt. Heat reserved chorizo oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until just beginning to smoke. Cook scallops on one side, reducing heat if they are taking on too much color and moving around in pan for even browning, until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and turn scallops over. Add butter to skillet and, using a spoon, baste scallops with butter 30 seconds. Transfer scallops to a plate. Squeeze halved lime over.
  • Divide corn mixture among plates and arrange scallops on top. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 24

Corn:
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 ounces unsalted butter
3 ears corn on the cob
Red Pepper Nage:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots, peeled
2 cloves garlic
2 whole red peppers, halved and seeded
2 tomatoes, halved
1 sprig fresh thyme
Salt and ground white pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
Scallops and Succotash:
2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
2 scallops (u-10) or comparable size
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced shallots
1 ounce black truffles, optional
1 tablespoon fresh minced chives
1 tablespoon diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the corn: Add the milk and 2 cups water to a 3- to 4-quart pot and bring to a simmer. Add the butter, salt and sugar and cook until the butter has melted. Add the corn, cover, and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the corn from the pot and cool down enough to handle, then cut off the kernels with a knife. (Hint: it will be easier to remove the kernels from the cob if still warm.)
  • For the red pepper nage: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the oil, shallots, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, thyme and salt and white pepper to taste, making sure to coat all the ingredients evenly with the oil.
  • Lay all the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and mix until smooth.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepot and bring to a boil. Pour the cream into the vegetable mixture and blend until incorporated. Strain the nage through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • For the scallops: Heat 1 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil in a saute pan until hot (about 350 degrees F), and then sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a separate saute pan. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, and then add the corn and cook for a few minutes. Turn down the heat and add the truffles, if using, the chives and tomatoes. Just before serving, add the butter and cook until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and white pepper.
  • To plate this dish, we use an 8-inch round white plate. First, place a small amount of the corn succotash in the center of the dish. Place the browned scallops directly onto the corn. Finally, spoon a few ounces of the red pepper nage around the corn and serve.

This is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, had it the other day, really great. This will serve 4 as a starter, but we finished this off between 2 people as a main.

Provided by Latchy

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large roma tomatoes, quartered
1 pinch dried oregano or 1 pinch italian seasoning
salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
8 slices prosciutto
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 (400 g) can cannellini beans or 1 (400 g) can flageolet beans, drained
4 -6 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 -2 small dried chili, crumbled
extra virgin olive oil
16 scallops (trimmed with either roe on or off)
peppery rocket or watercress leaf, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 240d Celsius. Season the tomatoes and sprinkle with the oregano or Italian spices.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven skin side down for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Place the prosciutto slices beside the tomatoes and continue to roast for a further 10 minutes until the tomatoes are juicy and the prosciutto is crispy.
  • In a pan fry the garlic, chillies and anchovies in 1 dessert spoon of olive oil for a minute or 2.
  • Add your beans and cook for a couple of minutes before adding a wine glass of water.
  • Bring to the boil, then lightly mash to a course puree.
  • Loosen the puree with a little more water if need be.
  • Finish the flavour off with some peppery extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Season the scallops then sear them on a very hot grill pan that has been rubbed liberally with olive oil for 2 minutes without touching them.
  • Check and continue to fry until they have a nice sweet caramelized skin--turn over and cook the other side the same.
  • Don't overcook them.
  • Remove to a bowl and coat with a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Put some smashed bean puree on each plate, scatter over the tomatoes, prosciutto and scallop and finish off with the rocket.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and firm, with a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Properly sear the scallops. To get a perfect sear, make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and just cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will not sear properly and will end up steamed instead. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary.
  • Use fresh corn and tomatoes. Fresh corn and tomatoes will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. However, avoid using canned tomatoes, as they will not have the same flavor as fresh tomatoes.
  • Season the dish to taste. Once the scallops and vegetables are cooked, season the dish with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared scallops with corn and tomatoes is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared to perfection and the corn and tomatoes add a pop of color and flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
