Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, and rinsed well
1 pound green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head), halved lengthwise, cored, and thinly sliced crosswise
1/3 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 large sea scallops (about 1 pound), tough side muscles removed
Lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 4 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add leek; cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cabbage, and add stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle scallops with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Heat remaining 4 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add scallops; cook, turning once, until dark golden, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Divide cabbage mixture among four plates, and top each serving with 3 scallops. Garnish with lemon.

I found the scallops to be a little bit overcooked, but the rest of the dish was great.

These scallops were cooked perfectly! They were seared on the outside and cooked through but still tender on the inside.
