Best Scallops Sauteed In Macadamia Nut Oil With A Macadamia Nut Crust Recipes

MACADAMIA NUT CRUST

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the nuts, panko, sugar, flour, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
• Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 or 10-inch cake, pie, or springform pan as a crust for a cheesecake or cream pie. Bake according to instructions for cheesecake or pie. If baking for a precooked pie filling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

SAUTEED SCAMPI IN MACADAMIA NUT OIL

Steps:

• Warm a little macadamia nut oil in a non-stick frying pan just enough to cover the bottom.
• Salt and pepper the scampi. When the oil is heated, saute the scampi quickly and uniformly, 2 to 3 minutes will suffice, just to cook through and until they curl slightly and turn red. The scampi must remain crispy. Set aside.
• Chop the olives finely with the capers and 3 leaves of the basil. Set aside.
• In the center of the plate, arrange the olive mixture. Place 2 pieces of scampi, and several small pieces of nicoise olives on top, and garnish with a bouquet of fresh basil.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
• Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
