Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup white rice
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt
4 cups frozen chopped greens, such as collards and/or kale (about 10 ounces), thawed and squeezed dry
1 pound medium sea scallops (about 20), "foot" muscles removed
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; stir, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the greens. Cover and set aside.
  • Season the scallops with salt and sprinkle one side with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the scallops, spice-side down; cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
  • Stir the parsley and scallion greens into the rice and season with salt. Serve with the scallops and lemon wedges.

SCALLOPS WITH RICE



Scallops With Rice image

Scallops aren't the cheapest seafood on the market, but their buttery flavor is worth the expense. This is a simple, wholesome recipe that will satisfy, whether it is just you or guests. I buy frozen scallops from the grocer, thaw them, and they work just fine. For the rice I like to use a quick-cooking Rice Select royal blend--texmati white, brown, wild, and red for some variety. Some of the grains are nutty flavored and slightly al dente, which contrasts with the rest of the ingredients. Serve the same wine you cook with: a dry chablis is recommended. Serve with a vegetable or other side dish of your choice. Adapted from "Cooking in a Casserole" (1967) by Robert C. Ackart, esq.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, chopped
3 tablespoons oil (olive is good)
1 1/2 cups raw natural rice
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
boiling water

Steps:

  • Assemble and prepare all ingredients
  • In a 5-quart casserole, melt butter, cook onion until translucent. Remove and reserve.
  • In casserole, heat oil and cook rice until it is well coated and begins to turn golden. Add reserved onion, parsley, and seasonings. Cover.
  • In a saucepan, heat wine with thyme and bay leaf. Add scallops and enough boiling water to cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and reserve scallops; strain and reserve broth.
  • Add 2 cups of broth to rice mixture in casserole; if necessary, add more boiling water to have 2 cups. Stir once, cover, bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in scallops, cover, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Tips

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the scallops well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion

Scallop tea rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, it is sure to impress your guests.
