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.

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SWEET CORN HASH



SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SWEET CORN HASH image

Categories     Shellfish     Sauté     Fourth of July     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 2-4 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 strips bacon
1 red onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced, tops roughly chopped and reserved
2 summer squash (patty pan or zucchini), diced
small handful of fresh basil, roughly chopped
8 chives or 3 green onions, chopped or sliced
12 cherry tomatoes, left whole, or 1 large tomato, chopped into large chunks
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 c (or a touch more) beer or dry white wine
4 medium or 3 large ears corn, cut from the cob
4 T butter
8-10 large scallops (about 1lb), muscle removed** and seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides

Steps:

  • Make Hash: In a large skillet, brown bacon over medium heat. Remove bacon and fat, reserving 1-2 tsps of fat in the pan. Crumble bacon and set aside. Saute onions, carrots and celery over medium-high heat in the bacon fat, allowing vegetables to brown in places, about 5 minutes. Add squash, coriander and cumin, and continue to cook for 3 more minutes. Deglaze pan with 1/2 cup wine or beer, scraping browned bits off the pan as you go. Use more liquid if you need to, but you want all the liquid to evaporate from the pan (a soupy consistency is not what you want here). Add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, then turn off heat and add herbs and celery tops. Add 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper, and immediately remove vegetables mixture from pan, reserving in a bowl. Using the same pan, brown 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once butter is brown, add corn, season with salt and pepper and stir, cooking, for 3 minutes (for white corn) or 5 minutes (for yellow corn). Remove pan from heat, then add in the vegetable mixture. Set pan aside, or into a warm (200 degree) oven. Make Scallops: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium. Working quickly, add 1 tablespoon butter to pan, allow to brown slightly, then add seasoned scallops to the pan. Allow scallops to sear and brown (that means you have to leave them alone and not move them) for 2-3 minutes. Once brown, turn scallops and brown the other side, again for 2-3 minutes (or longer if necessary). Don't worry: Cooking for this amount of time (or slightly longer) will not overcook your scallops; in fact, they'll be warm but rare in their middles. Spoon corn mixture into shallow bowls and top with scallops. We drink a nice Chardonnay with this, but a good hoppy beer would work too.

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.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter

SUCCOTASH WITH SEARED SCALLOPS



Succotash with Seared Scallops image

Succotash, a combination of corn kernels and beans with other vegetables, is one of many American Indian dishes early settlers gladly adopted. The version here serves as a delicious bed for seared sea scallops.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large leek (white and pale-green parts only), halved lengthwise, cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons, and rinsed well
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 box (10 ounces) frozen lima beans, thawed
6 ounces okra, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
24 sea scallops (about 2 pounds), tough muscles removed

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leek; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, lima beans, and okra; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add corn; cook until just tender, about 2 minutes more. Stir in chives, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add scallops; cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding skillet), turning once, until golden and just translucent in centers, about 3 minutes per side. Serve scallops on top of succotash, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right scallops. Look for dry scallops that are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Avoid scallops that are wet or slimy.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Sear the scallops over high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
  • Make sure the corn hash is cooked through. The corn hash should be cooked until the corn is tender and the vegetables are slightly caramelized.
  • Serve the scallops and corn hash immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Seared sea scallops with sweet corn hash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the corn hash is a flavorful and colorful complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
