SEA SCALLOP SANDWICHES WITH CITRUS JUICES

Steps:

• Have all ingredients and utensils ready because it is important to work quickly. Finely shred the potatoes, using a grater, food processor or mandoline. Place in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Pull up the corners of the towel, and squeeze all of the water from the shredded potatoes. Fluff up the potatoes, and divide them in half.
• On a baking sheet divide half of the potatoes into 8 small mounds. Dust each mound with a bit of the flour. Place 2 slices of scallop on each mound. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the remaining potatoes evenly over the scallops to make 8 sandwiches. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and dust with a pinch of flour.
• Place 2 9- or 10-inch saute pans over medium heat, and add 1 cup of oil to each pan. Heat until almost smoking. Carefully place 4 sandwiches in each pan with a spatula, making sure they keep their shape. Reduce the heat slightly. Cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn the sandwiches, using 2 spatulas. Brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pans, and drain on paper towels.
• Swirl the sauce in circles onto each of 4 plates. Place 2 sandwiches on each plate, and serve immediately.

SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH CANDIED CITRUS

Steps:

• Spread the scallops in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Remove long strips of peel from 1 orange and 3 limes with a paring knife, being careful not to remove the white pith; set the peels aside. Juice the peeled fruit and the remaining oranges and limes to make 1 cup of each juice; pour into a bowl. Add the celery, onion, tomatoes, scallions, olive oil, 1/2 cup ice water, and pepper to taste; pour over the scallops. Cover and refrigerate until the scallops are opaque, 1 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the candied citrus: Place the orange and lime peels in a saucepan of water; bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, then drain. Boil in fresh water 2 more times; drain and set aside. Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in the saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and return the citrus peels to the pan; simmer for 45 minutes. Transfer the peels with a slotted spoon to a rack, reserving the syrup; let the peels cool, then slice into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Drain the excess marinade from the ceviche. Add the cilantro and candied citrus peels, season with salt and toss. Transfer to a serving bowl and lightly drizzle with some of the reserved orange-lime syrup. Serve on endive leaves or with toasted bread, if desired.
