Scallop Toast Recipes

SCALLOPS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Mince shallots, and saute in butter in hot heavy skillet.
• Toast the bread.
• When shallots have softened, about 3 minutes, add the wine, and cook over high heat to reduce the wine by half.
• Cut the crusts from the bread and cut each slice in half to form triangles. Arrange them on two dinner plates.
• When wine is reduced and almost syrupy, stir in the scallops, and cook one to two minutes, stirring often and watching carefully so they do not overcook. They are ready when they have just turned white.
• Add the Worcestershire, salt if needed and pepper. Spoon with all the juices over the toast and serve.

SCALLOP TOAST

Steps:

• Place the rice in a grinder and process to the texture of a meal. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a skillet over medium low heat and whisk in the ground rice.
• Cook, stirring, until mixture has slightly darkened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 3 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks. Add them to the rice mixture and whisk until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut half the scallops into 1/2-inch dice. In a food processor, make a paste of the remaining scallops, a tablespoon of the oil, the fish sauce and juniper berries. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Add the diced scallops and the scallop paste to the rice-egg mixture and stir well. Transfer to a bowl and add the egg whites. Stir thoroughly.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1/4 cup of the mixture into the skillet and flatten to make a 2-inch round. Make 2 more rounds and sprinkle the top of each with 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds. Fry for 3 minutes, then turn and cook 3 minutes more. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil and rice-egg mixture and serve with the lemon wedges.
