Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
12 large sea scallops, side tendons removed (about 1 pound)
12 large fresh spinach leaves, stemmed, rinsed and patted dry

Steps:

  • To prepare chutney:.
  • Place peppercorns on cutting board. Crush them by pressing down on them with bottom of heavy saucepan.
  • In fine-mesh sieve or another sieve lined with cheesecloth, strain horseradish for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Press on the horseradish with a spoon or squeeze the cheesecloth to extract all the liquid.
  • In small bowl, whisk preserves until smooth. Whisk in strained horseradish and crushed peppercorns. You will have more chutney than you need for this recipe. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days.
  • To prepare scallops:
  • Preheat broiler and position rack 2 to 3 inches from heating element. Lightly brush small baking sheet with a thin layer of the butter and spread scallops on baking sheet.
  • Broil scallops 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn once for even browning. Try to cook them just until they are translucent in the center, or medium done; do not overcook.
  • Crisscross 2 spinach leaves on each of 6 small plates and put 2 scallops on top of the leaves.
  • Top each scallop with a generous 1/4 teaspoon apricot chutney. Serve immediately.
