SCALLOPS ROCKEFELLER

Steps:

• For brioche crust, process ingredients in a food processor until a fine paste forms, season to taste with sea salt and set aside.
• For fennel sauce, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add fennel and shallot and stir occasionally until tender (5-7 minutes). Add stock, Pernod and lemon juice and cook until reduced by half (8-10 minutes). Process fennel mixture in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve (discard solids), set aside. Keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 200C. Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat, add parsnip and stir until golden (5-10 minutes). Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, blanch spinach (30 seconds), then refresh and drain. Process in a food processor, with a little water, until mixture is smooth, season to taste. Warm gently in a small saucepan before serving.
• Top scallops with a little brioche crust mixture, bake on a baking paper-lined oven tray until golden (3-5 minutes). Divide spinach purée among plates, top with scallops, scatter with parsnip, drizzle with fennel sauce and olive oil, and scatter with chervil sprigs and ground licorice, to taste.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CREPES

Steps:

• Combine milk, flour, eggs, and melted butter in a blender. Process until smooth, for at least 1 minute. Set aside and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Coat a crepe pan or nonstick small skillet with melted butter. Pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter and swirl the pan until entire bottom is covered in a thin layer of batter. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Loosen crepe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, re-buttering the pan as needed and stacking crepes onto the plate.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and scallops are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and green onions; saute until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Whisk in flour until mixture becomes paste-like and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and whisk until sauce is smooth and thickened. Thin out with more milk if needed.
• Add Swiss cheese, wine, and sherry to the sauce; stir until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2/3 cup sauce. Add shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and onions to the remaining 1/3 of the sauce and stir until heated through.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling across the lower third of each crepe. Roll crepes up jellyroll-style and serve at the table with the reserved sauce.
