1 lemon

Steps:

Put the scallops in a bowl, sprinkle them with the thyme and two tablespoons of the olive oil and toss them. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for two hours before cooking. Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking the scallops.
Preheat broiler or grill. Cut each head of radicchio into four pieces. Sprinkle radicchio with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the radicchio until it is wilted and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Remove to a warm platter.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

20 large sea scallops
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
6 very thin slices pancetta
1 handful baby arugula, watercress or other flavorful green
1 small head butter lettuce, torn into large pieces
20 mint leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Coarse sea salt

Steps:

Preheat grill to medium. Brush scallops lightly with olive oil. Unravel pancetta into 6 thin strips. Cut strips to fit around the scallops' narrow rims. Wrap a strip of pancetta around each scallop, and thread scallops on 2 parallel skewers through the pancetta so they are easier to turn.
In a large bowl, toss together arugula, butter lettuce, mint, fennel and orange zest. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt, and toss to mix. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Divide among 4 plates.
Season scallops lightly on the top and bottom with salt. Grill until scallops and pancetta are crisp on edges and scallops are cooked through. Remove from grill and place on top of salads. Serve.

Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano plus 1 small bunch fresh oregano tied with butcher's twine to make a basting brush
Olive oil, for marinade
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 U-10 sea scallops, cleaned and patted dried with a paper towel

Steps:

Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.
