Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices thick-cut bacon
10 large dry untreated sea scallops (treated or frozen ones may also be used)
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar, mixed with 1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
1 head Bibb or Boston lettuce, rinsed and spun dry
4 vine-ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 baguette, cut into slices and toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, plus crushed black pepper

Steps:

  • In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp and transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve rendered bacon fat. Once cooled, finely chop the bacon.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan and add 2 tablespoons rendered bacon fat. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper and sear on a high heat for 90 seconds per side in the bacon fat. Do not crowd the pan. Do 5 at a time if your pan cannot hold all 10 scallops. Remove scallops from pan. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar mixture and turn heat down to low. Simmer for about 8 minutes or until you have between 1/2 and 3/4 cups of reduction.
  • In a large shallow salad bowl, add loosely torn butter lettuce and top with tomatoes. Place the toasted baguette pieces around the edge of the salad bowl. Place warm seared scallops on top of salad, followed by the finely chopped cooked bacon. Drizzle salad with reduced bacon balsamic glaze. Finish with crushed black pepper. Serve with a nice, dry Sauvignon Blanc.

Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.

CREAMY LEMONY SCALLOPS, OVER KALE AND JASMINE RICE



Creamy Lemony Scallops, over Kale and Jasmine Rice image

This again is one of my GO TO meals. Easy, quick, elegant and perfect for every day or entertaining. It is so flavorful and still so pretty when you serve it. It is light with fresh citrus flavors and a quick cooking dish which makes this a breeze to make. Serve this with some fresh bread, weather you make it yourself or not. I would love this with a nice citrus salad. Even a mix of mango, papaya, pineapple and kiwi would also be nice. Something that reminds me of summer. NOTE: This is a 4 step dish, but just read the recipe through ... it isn't hard trust me. Rice takes 5 minutes in the microwave (and you can use the same bowl you will serve it in), saute kale in 5 minutes, sear the scallops in the same pan let rest 5 minutes while you make some sauce ... again in the same pan and then serve all together. Makes clean up easy for a week night. A bed of flavorful rice, topped with tangy garlic kale, topped with fresh seared scallops and a wonderful lemon sauce to tie it all together. You can make each component on it's own, but this is wonderful all together. I hope you give it a try.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 28

24 sea scallops (based on 6 per person, you can add more if you like)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
2 cups rice, uncooked (I used 2 Jasmine, boil in bagged rice, but use anything you want)
2 scallions, diced
1 tablespoon thyme, fresh and chopped fine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon butter
1 bunch kale, rough chopped (I remove the thick stems)
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 shallot, thin sliced
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon thyme, fresh and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Scallops -- Bring the scallops to room temperature while you start the other side dishes.
  • Rice -- I used Jasmine, just the boil in bag rice. Now you can use any rice you want or have on hand. But I was in a hurry and this in the cabinet, and it works just fine. Five minutes in the microwave in a bowl of water and it is so quick and easy, why not? Just follow the directions on the box or bag. This recipe serves 4 so I like about 1/2 cup per serving. I actually used 2 bags. But again, use anything you want.
  • After the rice is done, add butter, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to taste, lemon zest, lemon juice. Mix well and cover and set to the side. It is done. You can reheat for 30 seconds in the micro if necessary. But it should stay warm covered.
  • Kale -- In a large saute pan (non stick is NOT preferred). Add butter and olive oil. Bring to medium high heat and add the garlic and shallot and saute until slightly soft, 1-2 minutes. Add the kale and chicken broth and cook until slightly wilted it only takes a couple of minutes. Then add the vinegar, salt and pepper and remove to a bowl, cover and set to the side.
  • Scallops -- In the same pan you cooked the kale in after lightly wiping clean, melt olive oil and butter. Pat your scallops dry and salt and pepper well. Cook on medium high heat until nice and golden brown on one side and then flip. Don't move them around, just let them get a cut crust on the first side before flipping. At least 2-3 minutes. Once flipped the other side doesn't take that long. Remove and cover with foil.
  • Sauce -- In that same pan (we are saving pots and pans with this dish) add the white wine to deglaze the pan, reduce the heat to medium / medium low and add the chicken broth, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper and cream. Cook 2-3 minutes still on medium heat. Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice. Heat just a minute and check seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
  • Serving -- Add a spoon of the rice on each plate about 1/2 cup, then top with the kale, and top it off with the seared scallops. Drizzle with the creamy lemon sauce and enjoy! That is just perfect.
  • It may seem like a lot -- but each part is very quick and very easy. When I make this I just get everything ready as it goes so quick.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your salad shine. Look for plump, firm scallops, crisp vegetables, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough and rubbery. Sear them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are just opaque in the center.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked al dente: Al dente rice is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape well in the salad.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops: If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will steam instead of sear. This will result in soggy, undercooked scallops.
  • Season the salad well: A good vinaigrette is essential for a flavorful salad. Be sure to taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The scallops will start to toughen up if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This warm scallop rice salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal that is also healthy and delicious, give this warm scallop rice salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
