STONE FRUIT GAZPACHO WITH SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Combine the peaches, plums, watermelon, garlic, shallots, and vinegar in the Vitamix, blender, or food processor. Process on high until smooth and creamy, then reduce the speed and drizzle in the 1 cup olive oil until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to chill in the refrigerator. Go ahead and chill 4 glass soup bowls while you're at it.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. When the gazpacho is chilled, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper. Once the olive oil slips easily across the pan, carefully place the scallops in the pan and sear until golden brown. I like the scallops to be just barely cooked, so I only sear one side. After about 2 minutes on the stovetop, put the whole kit and caboodle in the oven, without flipping the scallops; they will need 2-3 minutes in the oven.
- Fill each chilled soup bowl with a generous portion of gazpacho and nestle one scallop in each bowl, seared side up. A sprinkling of Espelette pepper and the thyme sprigs and blossoms and a drizzle of fruity olive oil is all you need.
PAN-GRILLED SCALLOPS ON GREEN GAZPACHO
Steps:
- To make the gazpacho: Add the diced cucumbers, tomatillos, onions, and garlic to a mixing bowl. Pour in the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt, and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and set aside to allow the flavors to blend. To make the scallops: Score the scallops with a small knife in a checkerboard pattern.
- In a hot pan, add enough canola oil to line the bottom and sear the scallops on both sides until barely cooked through, about 30 seconds per side. Once cooked, they should just lose their translucent color. Serve the scallops by arranging the scallop shells on a platter. Place a dollop of the gazpacho onto each shell, and then top with a single seared scallop. Add a drizzle of olive oil and, lastly, a dusting of salt, and pepper.
FRUIT GAZPACHO
I came across this recipe in a recent issue of Family Circle. I added some more fruits than the original recipe. It made a lovely, refreshing dessert! I'm thinking it would also make a great addition to a first course. The black pepper may sound like an odd ingredient but, it helps to keep the soup from being too sweet.

Steps:
- Remove the zest of 1 of the oranges with a vegetable peeler. Finely chop the zest and set aside. Juice all of the oranges, place juice in a large saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

- Puree the chilies with 3/4 cup of chicken broth in a blender. Place in a bowl, add the saffron and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Place half of the tomato mixture in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Stir into the remaining tomato mixture. Strain the chili mixture into the tomato mixture. Stir in the reserved orange juice, the lime juice and the salt. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Bring the remaining chicken broth to a boil, reduce to a slow simmer, add the scallops and poach until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain and let cool. Stir the cilantro into the reserved orange zest, add the scallops and toss to coat.
- Taste the soup and add more salt, if needed. Ladle into 4 chilled bowls and top with the scallops. Serve immediately.
