CHUCK'S CARROT BUTTER

Steps:

• For the Carrot Butter: Melt the butter.
• In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, let the carrot juice reduce by half. It will take approximately 25 minutes.
• Once it's reduced, transfer the reduced juice to a tall, hand blender friendly container.
• Slowly pour in the butter, and blend to create an emulsion. Basically, you want a uniform color a sure sign that the butter and juice have come together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• You can store it in an airtight container in your fridge, but you need to reheat it before using again as the butter will harden, and give it another buzz.
• For the scallops: Score the scallops with a checkerboard pattern and season with salt and pepper.
• In a pan on high heat, add a splash of canola oil. Add the scallops and cook 2 minutes per side. Plate him or her on a simple white dish. Drizzle a generous amount of the carrot butter over each scallop and garnish with a handful of micro arugula.

• Put the cooked carrots and the three cups of apple juice or cider in a blender until it reaches the consistency of something you'd like to spread on toast.
