Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons or so of flour for dusting
1 1/4 pounds scallops. trimmed of their "foot"
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Small red cabbage, cut into long strips
Garlic clove, minced
1-2 tablespoons dry white wine or white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat some butter in a non-stick skillet. Lightly dust the scallops with flour on one side only; shake off excess. When hot, add the scallops, floured side down, and saute, over moderate high heat, without moving for 2 to 3 minutes or until one side develops a crust. Put a lid on the scallops to help finish steaming the top or, if the heat is high enough, the scallops will cook from the bottom through to the top. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet. When hot add the cabbage and garlic and saute for a few minutes just long enough to wilt it down. (You may need to add a touch of water to help it wilt down.) Remove from heat and add white wine to taste. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, pile some cabbage in the center of a plate and top the plate with scallops, putting the browned side up. Garnish with parsley if you wish.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH BROWN BUTTER, CAPERS AND LEMON



Sea Scallops With Brown Butter, Capers and Lemon image

This bright yet rich treatment for scallops came to The Times in a 2009 article about Kevin Zraly, the wine director of Windows on the World from 1976 to 2001. Mr. Zraly turned the restaurant into an international wine mecca: at the time it was destroyed, when the World Trade Center fell, its cellar held close to 100,000 bottles of 1,500 labels. Mr. Zraly and Michael Lomonaco, the chef at the restaurant (both of whom were not at work on Sept. 11 when the planes hit), worked together on hundreds of wine and food pairings throughout the years. This was Mr. Zraly's favorite of Mr. Lomonaco's creations. With it, he recommends a Puligny Montrachet, Olivier Leflaive.
