Seared Scallops With Orange And Vermouth Food Wine Recipes

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH ORANGE AND VERMOUTH

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until very hot. Season the scallops with the salt and pepper. Add half the scallops to the pan and cook until browned, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until browned on the second side and just done, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining scallops. Wipe out the pan.
• In the same pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the vermouth and orange zest. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the scallops and warm until just heated through, about 1 minute.
• Fish Alternatives: Instead of large sea scallops, you can use bay scallops. Sauté them for just a minute and a half. They cook so quickly there's not time for a brown crust to form, but the taste will still be delicious.
• Variations: Seared Scallops with Lemon and Vermouth Use 1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest in place of the orange zest. Seared Scallops with Orange and White Wine Use 1/2 cup of dry white wine in place of the vermouth.
• Wine Recommendation: A light, acidic white wine is a good partner for the citrus here. Outstanding choices would be a better quality Soave or a sauvignon blanc from the northern Alto Adige region of Italy.

Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
• Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
• For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.
