CURRY-CRUSTED SEA SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Rinse and drain scallops, and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss with the curry powder, coating all sides.
• Heat a nonstick skillet on high and spray with olive oil. Saute scallops 3 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper to taste and remove to a bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup water and the apricot jam to the skillet; simmer 30 seconds, stirring to melt jam. Add cream and simmer 1 minute to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon sauce over scallops and sprinkle scallions on top.

SAUTEED SEA SCALLOPS WITH CURRY

Steps:

• Cook carrots in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Add cucumbers and cook until all vegetables are crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer. Drain well. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add scallops; sauté until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
• Add cream, ginger and curry powder to same skillet. Add any accumulated juices from scallops on platter. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter; whisk until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return scallops to skillet. Add carrots and cucumbers; toss to combine. Cook just until scallops and vegetables are heated through, about 1 minute.

SEA SCALLOPS OVER LEEKS WITH MANGO CURRY CHUTNEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium heat in a large saute pan and add 1 tablespoon of the butter (reserving the other 2 tablespoons oil and the other 3 tablespoons butter). Reduce the heat to low and slowly cook the leeks until tender. Transfer to a utility platter, cover and keep warm. (Keep the same pan handy to sear the scallops.)
• While the leeks are cooking, in a separate medium saucepot heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat (reserving the last tablespoon of oil) and saute the onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent. Add the mango peach juice and curry paste and let reduce by two-thirds. Whisk in the chocolate chips and cook for about 10 minutes to integrate flavors.
• While the sauce is cooking, dust the scallops on both sides with chili powder and cocoa powder, and season with a little salt.
• Return to the saucepot, and reduce the heat to low. Take 1/4 cup of the hot sauce and put it into a separate bowl. Gradually add the sour cream into the hot sauce, a spoonful at a time to temper the sour cream and keep it from "breaking."
• Gradually add the bowl of tempered sour cream to the sauce a little at a time and allow to thicken over low heat, about 5 more minutes.
• While the sauce is thickening, return to the pan in which you sauteed the leeks and if you have not already done so, remove them to a utility platter to keep warm. Wipe out the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat to the smoking point and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in it (reserving the last 2 tablespoons of butter). Sear each side of the scallop leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes or so to let the caramelization process to begin. This will not only allow the seasonings integrate into the surface of the scallops, but will prevent tearing. Further cook the scallops until you see (from the side) that they are beginning to turn opaque inside. When you notice that the opacity extends about 1/4 of the way down from each flat side of the scallop, remove the scallops to a plate and cover them with a pot lid to allow carryover cooking to take over, to avoid overcooking the scallops.
• Spoon some leeks into the center of serving plate. Top with scallops and spoon curry sauce around.
