Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 clove garlic, peeled
1 6-inch sprig fresh rosemary
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cups frozen peas
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 large sea scallops, each one halved to make two slim disks

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the garlic, rosemary and oil. Place over medium-low heat until the oil starts to bubble. Turn off the heat and leave the mixture to infuse.
  • Place peas in a large pan of lightly salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until peas are tender but still bright green, cooked slightly longer than usual. Drain, and transfer to a food processor. Add 1/4 cup of the infused oil (discard garlic and rosemary). Process until pureed, then return to the pan, cover, and keep warm.
  • Season the cornstarch with salt and pepper to taste. Place a heavy skillet over medium heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, lightly dust the scallop halves with seasoned cornstarch, and add to the pan. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes each side.
  • To serve, divide pea puree between two plates and add scallops. Serve immediately.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the pea puree was delicious. I'll try it again with less cooking time for the scallops.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The scallops were a bit bland and the pea puree was too thick. I would not make this again.

I've made this dish several times, and it's always a hit. The scallops are always tender and juicy, and the pea puree is the perfect complement. I like to add a little bit of lemon zest to the puree for a bit of extra brightness.
