SCALLOPS ON ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH WINE REDUCTION



Scallops on Asparagus Spears With Wine Reduction image

This is a perfect light dish for spring or summer. I used bay scallops and reduced the cooking time to 2 minutes per side. An easy way to season the scallops is to put them in a plastic bag along with the coating mixture, and just shake the bag a few times. If you need the Old Bay, DiB's recipe #15562 is good. This recipe's source is McCormick.

PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH WHITE WINE REDUCTION RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Pan-Seared Scallops with White Wine Reduction Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by bodanzarama

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 sea scallops
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • The first thing to keep in mind when pan-searing scallops is that everything happens very fast so have all ingredients prepared and tools at the ready. The second thing is understand the needs of the scallops. They need to be dry. Whether you purchased them fresh or thawed them from frozen, pat them dry with paper towel before searing. If you patted them dry then went off and prepared other things before searing, pat them dry again. Right before you put them in the pan, season them with salt and pepper. They need hot oil. Use an oil with a high enough smoke point (not olive oil). I used vegetable oil. A thin layer covering the entire bottom of the pan will do. Medium-high heat will do the job but be patient and let that oil get hot. Look for the oil to shimmer then right after that come the faintest wisps of smoke. That's your signal. Gently place the scallops in the pan. They need their personal space. Even if you have to sear in two batches, keep space between the scallops. Crowding them will result in steaming them. They need their privacy. Once they are in the pan, leave them alone. Don't walk away but don't shake the pan or pick them up every five seconds. Let them sear. They need to get gone soon. About a minute later you will see the edges of the bottoms begin to brown. Using tongs, lift one a bit to see if the bottom is nice and golden brown and crispy. If so, turn over all of them. If not, set it back down and wait a few more seconds. Once all of them are flipped, give them about a minute on the second side, if that, then get them out of that pan. Set them aside and quickly make the reduction in the same pan. REDUCTION: Once you have removed the scallops from the pan. Reduce the heat to just above low and set the pan off heat. Add the shallots and begin moving them around and removing any good bits form the pan. Please take care because that pan is still hot and things might sputter. Add the wine and continue to stir. Return pan to heat. Add mustard and butter and continue to let the whole thing reduce while you keep stirring to incorporate everything to a lovely smoothness. Drizzle the reduction over the scallops and serve immediately. See, that was easy. And isn't it delicious? Now go teach all of your friends.

SEA SCALLOPS ON ASPARAGUS



Sea Scallops On Asparagus image

Provided by Leslie Land

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces common mushrooms
1 1/4 pounds slender asparagus spears, to make 3 1/2 cups when prepared
2 1/2 teaspoons fragrant mild honey, preferably lavender honey
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 scant teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 scant tablespoon dark green olive oil
2 tablespoons light olive oil
12 large sea scallops, 12 to 14 ounces, halved horizontally
2 tablespoons seasoned instant flour (see note)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the mushrooms and combine them in a large, non-reactive saucepan with five cups of water. Simmer gently for about one-and-a-half hours.
  • Strain the liquid, pressing to get all possible juice. Discard mushrooms or reserve. Return the liquid to the pan and boil over high heat until reduced to about a half cup. Set aside.
  • Break off the woody asparagus bottoms and peel the lower third. Remove the heads and halve them the long way, then slice the stems across into coins about one-eighth-inch-thick. Combine the honey, lime juice, tarragon and thyme in a small cup.
  • Put the dark olive oil in a wide, nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the asparagus pieces and stir-fry for one-and-a-half minutes, or just until they start to change color. Stir in the honey mixture and cook one minute more, then remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the mushroom essence to the asparagus pan, raise the heat to high and reduce to a generous quarter cup. Set aside.
  • Right before serving, put one tablespoon of the light olive oil in a wide, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dust half the scallop pieces with seasoned flour (see note), place them in the pan and add one tablespoon of the butter. Cook the scallops about one-and-a-half minutes per side, basting with the fat. They should be golden, barely cooked. Set aside, uncovered, and repeat with the remaining oil, butter and scallops.
  • Add the reduced mushroom essence to the scallop pan and bring to a boil, scraping. Stir in the asparagus, plus any escaped juices, and reheat.
  • Make a nest of the asparagus on each plate and pour the juices over them. Arrange six scallop pieces on each nest and serve at once.
