SEA SCALLOPS WITH CILANTRO GREMOLATA AND GINGER LIME BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Make gremolata:
• Stir together cilantro, garlic, and zest in a small bowl.
• Make beurre blanc:
• Simmer shallot and ginger in lime juice and wine in a small heavy saucepan until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each new piece before previous one has completely melted and occasionally lifting pan from heat to cool mixture. (Sauce must not get too hot or it will separate.) Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl (discard solids), then return to cleaned pan. Season with salt and white pepper and keep warm while cooking scallops.
• Sauté scallops:
• Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté scallops, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.

BARBECUED SCALLOPS WITH SEAWEED GREMOLATA CHEF: ADAM BYATT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine the ingredients for the fennel sand in a blender and blitz until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then spread on the tray and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Combine the seaweed, cucumber and vegetable oil for the seaweed emulsion. Blend for four minutes at 80C using a Thermomix. Alternatively, leave the seaweed and cucumber in a warm place, then blend the cucumber and seaweed for 10 minutes in a blender. Add vegetable oil and blend for a further five minutes. By hand, whisk the seaweed oil in a steady stream slowly into the rest of the ingredients to make a mayonnaise. To make the gremolata, finely chop the garlic, chilli, chives, parsley, chervil, lemon zest and salt and pepper. Add some of the olive oil to the mixed ingredients, then continue chopping and adding more oil until you form a coarse dressing. Toss the scallops in the gremolata. Put the scallops back in their shells, wrap with string and cook on a barbecue or chargrill for seven minutes. Set scallops aside to rest for two minutes. Cut the string and remove the top shell. To serve, spoon a small amount of seaweed emulsion into each shell, top with fennel sand and garnish with sea herbs.
