Time 30m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled
1/2 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons coarsely chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Blanch the fava beans in boiling water until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool. Slip the skins off the beans and place in a food processor. Puree. Add the broth, cream, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Scrape into a saucepan and warm gently over low heat.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shiitakes and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a large cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Place in the skillet and sear until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute a side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mound about 1/3 cup of fava bean puree onto the centers of 8 plates. Top with scallops. Scatter the mushrooms over the scallops and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
