Best 4 Spanish Scallops With Garlic Cream Tomato Jam Recipes

SPANISH SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC CREAM & TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Place the smashed garlic cloves, cream, and clam juice in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, partially covered, until the garlic feels completely soft when poked with a skewer, 10 to 12 minutes. If the cream mixture has reduced in volume, add enough cream to make 1 cup. Let the garlic cream cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Place 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and the minced garlic in a small deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir until the garlic is very fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic cream and whisk until the sauce is emulsified. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until the sauce thickens a little, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt to taste, remove it from heat and keep warm.
• Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and seasono them with salt & pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a very large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Working in three batches, cook the scallops until golden brown and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked scallops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• To serve, spread the garlic cream on 4 plates, and arrange 6 scallops on top of each. Dab the scallops with the Tomato Jam and serve at once.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
• Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.
