Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 ounces white chocolate, such as Ghiradelli, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 large sea scallops, muscles removed from sides if needed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh pea tendrils
Chopped tomatoes
1/2 lemon, juiced
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the beurre blanc: Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sweat with a pinch salt until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to combine. Add the wine and vinegar and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the cream (this will help stabilize your sauce and keep it from breaking) and simmer until reduced by one-third, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain the sauce into another warm saucepan over low heat. The sauce should remain warm, but never hot, or the sauce will break. On low or no heat, whisk in a few pieces of the butter at a time. Wait until each addition is incorporated before adding more butter. Once all of the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and combine. Set aside in a warm spot to hold. Just before serving, whisk in the white chocolate.
  • For the seared scallops: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it has a nice sheen and you can feel the heat coming off of the skillet. Dry your scallops well using paper towels, sprinkle each side with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet. Once the bottom of the scallops start to brown around the edges, add the butter to the skillet to help them caramelize. Let the butter melt, flip the scallops and cook until golden brown on each side and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Toss some pea tendrils and tomatoes with the lemon juice and some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and serve with the scallops and beurre blanc.

Simon Hopkinson's recipe for scallops will have you devouring every morsel from the plate.

Provided by Simon Hopkinson

Categories     Starters & nibbles

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 shallots, finely chopped
60ml/2fl oz white wine vinegar
60ml/2fl oz dry white wine
125g/4½oz cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
10 scallops
dash olive oil
salt and freshly ground white pepper
fresh chives, finely chopped, to garnish

Steps:

  • For the beurre blanc, place the shallots, vinegar, wine and 60ml/2fl oz water into a saucepan. Set over a moderate heat until almost no liquid remains.
  • Turn the heat down to a low setting and whisk in the butter one piece at a time, allowing each piece to melt and homogenise before adding the next (it is also a good idea to occasionally take the pan off the heat, then returning it when it is becoming too cool.) Once all the butter has been used the sauce should be pale and have a thin, custard-like consistency. Keep warm.
  • Brush the scallops with oil. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and fry the scallops for one minute on each side, or until golden-brown on the outside. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the sauce over the scallops and garnish with chives.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH HOT SAUCE BEURRE BLANC



Seared Scallops With Hot Sauce Beurre Blanc image

This dish mixes a lot of things I love, including butter and the taste of New Orleans's Crystal hot sauce. The scallops need to be dry, a term that refers to how they are processed. It's best to sear with a very hot, heavy nonstick pan, though you can sear a scallop in stainless or cast iron. Patience and a smoking hot pan are key. Really get a good sear on the scallop before you flip it. The salsa provides a way to use the feathery tops of a fennel bulb, but tarragon or other herbs can be substituted.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fennel fronds
1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pound large dry-processed sea scallops (about 12)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons white wine
Juice of 1 large lemon
1/4 cup Crystal hot sauce (Frank's or Texas Pete's can be substituted; do not use Tabasco)
2 sticks (1/2 pound) chilled butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Mix shallot, fennel fronds, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Pat scallops dry on both sides with a paper towel; they must be extremely dry. Sprinkle one side with kosher salt and a small grind of black pepper.
  • Heat oil in a good-quality, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is very hot and begins to shimmer and release a slight amount of smoke, place scallops in the pan in a single layer and reduce heat to medium. (Depending on the size of the pan, scallops may have to be cooked in two batches.) Let cook undisturbed for approximately 2 minutes or until bottoms begin to brown and caramelize. Flip scallops, cook for another minute and then remove to a warm plate.
  • Turn heat back to medium-high and add wine, lemon juice and hot sauce, stirring to remove browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce for a minute or 2, then turn heat to low. Whisk in butter, a tablespoon at a time, until sauce becomes emulsified and glossy. Stir in any juices from the scallops, then remove from heat.
  • To serve, spoon sauce onto four individual plates or a platter, place scallops on sauce and top each with a spoonful of salsa.

COQUILLE ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS WITH BEURRE BLANC)



Coquille St. Jacques (Scallops With Beurre Blanc) image

I either buy fresh scallops, or the frozen sea scallops from Trader Joe's. They thaw fast enough that I can easily make this on a weeknight. I'm told some folks have problems with the sauce "breaking" if you are not careful whisking in the butter and keeping the sauce from getting too hot, but I have not. I usually serve this dish with rice and steamed spinach; the sauce goes well over just about anything. The chives are good, but I prefer the tarragon. My husband and I find that we can easily eat 1/2 lb of scallops.
