How to cook Seared Scallops With Jammy Cherry Tomatoes

Seared Scallops With Jammy Cherry Tomatoes


Yield : 4 serving
Time : 25 mins



The straightforward, summery supper is an update that in-season produce and new fish sparkle most splendid with little whining.

 Singed scallops are matched with cherry tomatoes that are cooked in white wine and spread until they're self-destructing, and the entire thing is done with a sprinkle of new spices and lemon zing. 

A balance of easygoing and exquisite, this dish is best served directly from the skillet, with a major green serving of mixed greens, a decent portion of bread and the remainder of the wine.


INGREDIENTS 


  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 shallots)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine, such as muscadet or sauvignon blanc
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes, cut in half through the stem (about 3 cups tomatoes)
  •  Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 16 large sea scallops (about 1 pound), tough muscle removed
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 lemon, halved
  •  Julienned fresh basil and mint, for serving
  •  Coarse sea salt, for serving



PREPARATION 



STEP 1

  1. Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
STEP 2

  1. Add the wine and cook until about half the liquid has evaporated.
STEP 3

  1. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed. Transfer the tomato mixture to a small dish (use a rubber spatula to get every last bit of the sauce!), then carefully wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel.
  2. STEP 4
  3. Pat the scallops dry. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is very hot, add half the scallops, spacing them evenly in the pan, and season with kosher salt. Cook without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Don’t overcook! Transfer the scallops to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil if necessary.
STEP 5

  1. Drain any remaining oil and take the skillet off the heat. Return the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the scallops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomatoes. Top with the zest of both lemon halves, julienned basil and mint, and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and serve immediately.

Finger Foods you should Try : Oven BBQ Chicken

  Oven BBQ Chicken Time : 1hour  This juicy chicken is coated in barbecue sauce and uses the oven instead of the grill frequently, with the following helpful tip: Barbecue sauce is spread over most of the roast chicken that has been dry-rubbed. The rendered fat from the chicken gives the finished sauce its shine and thickness. After being spooned on, it is roasting the chicken until it is sticky, caramelized, and flavorful. Serve the excess sauce with supper, use it to dip poultry in, or eat it by the spoonful. (Try using this stovetop technique for boneless BBQ chicken.) INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 to 6 servings 1 (18-ounce) jar barbecue sauce, or 2 cups homemade barbecue sauce About 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken leg quarters or thighs, patted dry 1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as grapeseed) 2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade chili powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar PREPARATION Step 1 Heat the oven to 425 degre...

How to prepare Spicy Tomato Pasta With Arugula

  Spicy Tomato Pasta With Arugula Time : 20 minutes  This one-pot pasta is coated in a rich sauce owing to a basic foundation of olive oil, tomato paste, smoky Calabrian chili paste, and pasta water. It's a go-to recipe for sleepy weeknights when you don't want to chop an onion or mince garlic. This spicy and flavorful Italian chile paste is made from crushed Calabrian chiles combined with oil, salt, and occasionally vinegar. If you can't locate it, you can also use hot pickled chiles or chile-garlic paste. You can always add extra chile to your bowl, so err on the side of caution with that. Two methods of serving the arugula: Each serving bowl should have a tangle of it at the bottom. Toss the heated spaghetti with it to soften. Then slice the rawness, or heap it on top, pour with your lovely olive oil, and sprinkle with some grated cheese for a salad and pasta dish. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings Salt ¾pound long, thin pasta, such as vermicelli or capellini 2tablespoons ol...
