Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups dried white beans, soaked in water overnight
10 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cups tomato broth (see recipe)
1 1-by-3-inch orange rind
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 sea scallops, cleaned
2 bunches arugula or watercress
1/2 cup minced purple onion

Steps:

Combine the beans, thyme and bay leaf in a pot over medium-low heat. Add enough cold water to cover and cook for 30 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until tender, 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine the tomato broth and orange rind in a pot over low heat and simmer for 1 minute. Add the pepper and the scallops and gently poach until barely cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove the scallops and orange rind. Return the broth to the flame and cook until it has reduced to about 1 cup and is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Meanwhile, in the bottom of 4 large soup bowls, arrange the arugula. Spoon in the beans and divide the scallops. Drizzle with tomato glaze, then sprinkle with purple onion and serve immediately.
