Ingredients

10 large cloves garlic, peeled and halved

2 tablespoons butter

20 large sea scallops, rinsed and dried

1/4 cup chopped shallots or onion

1/4 cup apple juice or cider

1/4 cup dry Champagne or white wine

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or pancake syrup

4 tablespoons finely chopped chives, divided

Hot cooked rice

1 pound asparagus, steamed

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

In small saucepan, cover garlic with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 5 minutes. Drain garlic and set aside.

In 12-inch skillet, melt butter. Spread over medium heat and cook 1 minute or until lightly golden. Add scallops and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until scallops are opaque. Remove scallops and set aside.

In same skillet, stir in shallots, juice, Champagne, maple syrup, garlic and 2 tablespoons chives. Bring to a boil over high heat. Continue boiling, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. On serving platter, arrange scallops over hot rice. Top with sauce and remaining chives. Serve with asparagus tossed with lemon juice. If desired, season with salt and ground black pepper.
