Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds fresh fava bean pods, shelled
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
12 jumbo sea scallops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently shake dish to coat; season with salt and pepper. Transfer tomatoes to oven and roast until heated through and just beginning to split, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add fava beans to boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, peel beans, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined. Add tomatoes, fava beans, and mint; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Rub scallops with remaining tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place scallops, seasoned-side down in skillet; cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn; cook until they are just opaque in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes more. Scallops should not be cooked all the way through.
  • Divide tomato and fava bean salad evenly between 4 plates. Top each salad with 3 scallops; drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette from salad and serve immediately.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LIMA BEAN AND ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE



Grilled Halibut with Lima Bean and Roasted Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Jonathan Waxman

Categories     Bean     Garlic     Tomato     Low Cal     Basil     Halibut     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large tomatoes (preferably heirloom; 2 lb total)
3 garlic cloves, cut lengthwise into slivers
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lb fresh lima or fava beans in pod, shelled, or 10 oz frozen baby lima beans or shelled edamame (soybeans; 2 cups), not thawed
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 (6-oz) pieces halibut fillet (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Core tomatoes, then halve crosswise. Stud the cut side of each half with garlic slivers, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total). Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a lightly oiled shallow baking pan, then drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast until just soft and wilted, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While tomatoes roast, cook beans in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool slightly, about 10 minutes. When beans are cool enough to handle, gently slip off skins. Coarsely chop beans and roasted tomatoes, then toss with basil, remaining tablespoon oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and lemon juice (to taste).
  • Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine charcoal heat. It is medium-hot when you can hold your hand there for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce to moderate setting.
  • Pat fish dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
  • Serve fish topped with bean and roasted tomato sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slight briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Sear the scallops quickly over high heat. This will create a nice crust and prevent the scallops from overcooking.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If you crowd the pan, the scallops will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best enjoyed when they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled scallops with fava beans and roasted tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The scallops are cooked quickly over high heat, which creates a nice crust and prevents them from overcooking. The fava beans and roasted tomatoes add a pop of flavor and color to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family.
