Something I whipped up at home one day. Nice balance of flavors that goes well with the scallops. Really quick to make as long as you have all of the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients
  • For the Scallops:
  • 20 ea., Sea Scallops
  • 6 Tbsp. Olive Oil for frying
  • Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Cracked Pepper
  • For the Coulis:
  • 1 1/2 cups Watercress, leaves and thin stems only
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Clam Juice
  • 2 Tbsp. Sherry Vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • White Truffle Oil to taste

Directions
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the watercress, olive oil, clam juice, vinegar. Blend until smooth. If the coulis is too thick, thin it out with a little water. It should not be like a pesto type consistency. Transfer to a sauce pan and heat until about 160 degrees. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until emulsified. Season to taste with kosher salt, and whisk in the truffle oil to desired strength.
  2. Meanwhile, heat two saute pans with 3 Tbsp. of oil in each until smoking. Season the scallops with kosher salt and pepper, and add 10 scallops to each pan and sear until about medium doneness, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with the watercress coulis.

I love this recipe, so simple but with such exotic flavours! I'm in the UK, I dont think I've ever seen clam juice here, could I substitute it with something similar, a mild fish stock maybe? Scallops are so expensive here, a rare treat, but I'll certainly be trying this one out.

So, pretty much delicious is all i have to say. i made this. then made it again. and had some cod with it because i didn't have any more scallops.

Aaah, should say 6-8 minutes cooking time, not 68.


Also, add some cold water if needed to thin out the coulis. It should be smooth and a little loose, not thick like a pesto.
