SEARED SCALLOPS WITH LEEKS AND CAVIAR SAUCE
Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks and sauté until tender but not brown, about 20 minutes. Add Champagne and boil until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes. Transfer leek mixture to strainer set over bowl. Press on leeks to extract as much liquid as possible. Transfer leeks to small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return liquid to same skillet. Add cream and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl; cool 1 hour.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add scallops to skillet and sauté until just cooked through and golden brown, about 3 minutes per side for each batch. Transfer to plate.
- Spoon leeks in 5 small mounds around rim of each plate, spacing equally. Top each mound with 1 scallop. Stir caviar and tarragon into sauce. Spoon sauce into center of each plate.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but something went wrong. I won't be trying this again.

[email protected]Overall, this was a good recipe. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. However, I think it would have been better if the leeks were cooked a bit more.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too rich for me. The sauce was very heavy and the scallops were a bit too oily. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
