Sea scallops should have a golden brown sear on the outside, but be creamy and tender inside.

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 Large Sea Scallops
2 Tablespoons Dried Porcini Powder (See Note Below)
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Salt & Pepper To Taste
6 Ripe, Plum Tomatoes
1 Clove Garlic, Peeled And Minced
1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Chopped, Fresh Thyme

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes in half, cutting away the core end, then carefully squeeze the tomatoes to remove most of the seeds trying not to damage the pulp.
  • Cut the tomatoes into a small dice (1/2 inch pieces) and place in a bowl.
  • Add the garlic, olive oil and thyme, and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • Lightly pat the scallops dry, and sprinkle on some of the porcini powder on both sides.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan until it is sizzling and just beginning to turn light brown.
  • Add the scallops, and cook on medium high heat for about 3 minutes on each side. (The scallops should have a light, crisp outer crust, but remain tender inside.)
  • Once they have all been cooked, place three scallops on each plate with a little of the tomato relish on top to serve.
