Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 heads fennel
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
Juice of 1 orange (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Steps:

  • Cut the fennel into quarters and steam it until it is just tender (about 15 minutes).
  • Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the fennel. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly browned on all sides.
  • Soften the shallots and the garlic in the remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. Saute the scallops in two batches over high heat, browning them lightly on both sides. Remove them to a warm bowl.
  • Add the orange juice, balsamic vinegar and rosemary leaves. Scrape up the cooking juices and simmer them until you have a light glaze. Pour the sauce over the scallops and toss them. Correct seasoning and serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were overcooked and the fennel was mushy. The glaze was also too thick and sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The scallops were cooked perfectly, but the fennel was a bit too crunchy for my taste. The glaze was also a bit too sweet. Overall, this was a good recipe, but I would make a few changes next time.

This was a waste of time and ingredients. The scallops were tough and the fennel was bitter. The glaze was also too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The scallops were cooked well, but the fennel and glaze lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

These scallops were cooked to perfection - tender and juicy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. The fennel added a nice sweetness and anise flavor to the dish, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making thi
