Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds sea scallops
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/3 cups chopped fresh chives
3/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/3 cups diced peeled seeded English hothouse cucumber
1 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup tarragon vinegar
2 bunches watercress, thick stems trimmed
2 large heads of Belgian endive, trimmed, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Combine scallops and wine in large skillet. Cover and simmer over medium heat until scallops are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Drain. Chill scallops until cold, about 2 hours. Cut scallops into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Line twelve 3/4-cup soufflé dishes with plastic wrap, extending over sides by 3 inches. Whisk 1 cup fresh chives, crème fraîche, 1/2 cup tarragon, and 3 tablespoons mustard in large bowl to blend. Gently stir in scallops and cucumber. Season with salt and pepper. Cut 12 rounds from salmon slices to fit bottom of soufflé dishes; place 1 round in each dish. Top each with 1/4 cup scallop mixture. Top each with another layer of salmon, trimming to fit. Divide remaining scallop mixture among dishes (about 1/4 cup for each). Top each with a third layer of salmon, trimming to fit. Fold plastic wrap overhang over terrines to enclose completely. Chill at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Whisk oil, vinegar and 1/3 cup chives, 3 tablespoons tarragon, and 2 tablespoons mustard in medium bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold plastic wrap atop each terrine. Invert 1 terrine onto each of 12 plates. Peel off plastic wrap from each terrine. Surround each terrine with watercress sprigs and endive leaves. Drizzle greens and terrines with vinaigrette and serve.

This dish is a bit pricey to make, but it's worth it for a special occasion. I usually make it for Christmas or New Year's Eve.

I've made this dish several times now, and I've never had any problems with it. The terrines are always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is always a hit. I think the key is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my terrines. They were supposed to be moist and flavorful, but they turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was a disaster! The terrines were overcooked, and the sauce was curdled. I don't recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The terrines were a bit dry, and the sauce was a bit bland. I wouldn't make this dish again.
