Jumbo Seared Scallops And Wild Rice Recipes

SEARED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
• Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

JUMBO SEARED SCALLOPS AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• Start by adding some flavorful vegetable broth to a medium sized pot
• Next, add some extra virgin olive oil to a cast iron pan. I like to add a few tablespoons of grass fed ghee.
• Add your red onion. I like to chop half of the onion and cut the other half in half-moon shape. Cook down the onion until translucent. 3-5 minutes later, add chopped garlic
• Stir your rice often to ensure it doesn't burn. Once rice is fully cooked (usually 30 minutes or so). Add rice to your onion mixture in the cast iron pan.
• Plate your wild rice in the center of the dinner plate. Make sure to pat your scallops until they are fully dry
• Now its time to sear your scallops. Make sure they are dry, add some pasture raised ghee to your cast iron. Place the scallops on the hot surface. You'll want to sear each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't move the scallops once you place them. This will give your scallops that perfect brown sear.
• Finally, plate your scallops around the wild rice. I typically give 2-3 per person. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

SCALLOP RICE BOWLS WITH CRUNCHY SPICE OIL

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry, then season on all sides with ½ tsp. salt.
• Heat ginger and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large high-sided skillet or medium Dutch oven over medium until oil is hot. Add kale and ¼ cup water and toss to coat. Cook until kale is wilted and water is evaporated, 5-7 minutes. Season with remaining ½ tsp. salt.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp oil in large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Cook scallops until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide scallops among shallow bowls or plates; arrange kale, avocado, and some rice next to scallops. Drizzle with spice oil and serve with lemons for squeezing over.
