Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 18m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fish stock
2 ounces unsalted butter at room temperature
3 ounces assorted sliced mushrooms, wild or cultivated
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces mixed greens like Swiss chard, turnip greens, baby kale or spinach, in small pieces
12 ounces sea scallops
Salt and white pepper to taste
Olive oil for grilling

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or broiler.
  • Bring stock to boil in a saucepan; whisk in butter bit by bit.
  • Add mushrooms and thyme and reduce stock by half.
  • Add greens and simmer until greens are wilted.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Grill or broil just until done, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on size of scallops.
  • Remove greens and mushrooms from stock and arrange on four salad-size plates and keep warm. Consistency of stock will depend on how much water the greens gave off. For a lightly thickened stock, you may need to reduce the mixture more.
  • Arrange scallops on greens, slicing large scallops, and finish with thickened stock.

This recipe was a total disaster! The scallops were overcooked and the sauce was way too salty.

These scallops were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more seasoning next time.

These scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious.
