Grilled Scallops With Cashew Cucumber Relish Food

QUICK AND EASY GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Dab scallops dry with a paper towel.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice (and any additions below if using). Toss with scallops and let rest a few minutes while grill preheats.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Once the grill is heated, oil the grates by adding oil to a paper towel and using tongs to rub the oil on the grates.
• Remove scallops from the marinade (discard marinade) and season scallops with salt & pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or just until opaque.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with a dish towel or paper towels. It's very important to get out as much of the liquid as possible.
• Drizzle or brush scallops with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Place back in the refrigerator until the grill is ready (it's important to keep scallops cold for as long as possible).
• Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the grates liberally with an oil with a high smoke point (such as canola or vegetable oil) to prevent the scallops from sticking. Place the scallops directly onto the grates and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until slightly charred on the outside and completely opaque.

MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
• Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
• Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

• Drain relish in a sieve, discarding liquid, then stir in dill.
• Cook the scallops while the relish is standing by patting them dry with paper towels and adding salt and pepper to season.
• Grill in 2 batched on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH YELLOW BEETS, CUCUMBERS AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place beets in a baking dish with an inch of water. Tightly cover baking dish and roast for 1 hour or so, until beets are soft enough to yield to a fork and skins easily rub off. Peel beets, let them cool, then dice into 1/2-inch cubes. Alternatively, peel and dice raw beets, then simmer in salted water for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. (Beets may be cooked up to a day in advance.)
• Put scallops on a baking sheet, pat dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle or paint very lightly with olive oil, just to coat the surface. Leave at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb seasoning. (Or refrigerate up to 6 hours in advance; bring to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Put onions, ginger and lime juice in a mixing bowl with a big pinch of salt. Let macerate for 10 minutes or so, then add beets and cucumber to bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat well with juices. Leave to marinate, tossing occasionally, for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
• Prepare a bed of medium-hot coals for grilling or heat a stovetop grill pan. Lay the scallops on the grill and let them crisp gradually, for 5 minutes or so. Don't try to turn them until they are well browned or they'll stick. Flip and cook for 2 or 3 minutes more, until cooked through, but juicy.
• Transfer scallops to a serving dish in one layer. Spoon beets and cucumbers over the scallops and sprinkle with dill, mint and chives. Squeeze a little more lime juice over everything and drizzle with good fruity olive oil.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH CASHEW - CUCUMBER RELISH

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients. Set aside.
• Combine next 6 ingredients. This is the crust for the scallops.
• Rinse the scallops and pat dry. **(You will have better success with "dry scallops" which have not been treated with a brine that extends shelf life at the expense of taste and texture.).
• Coat each scallop with the spices by dipping each of the flat sides of the scallop in the mix.
• If you like using them, slide the scallops on skewers (should be enough for 4-12inch skewers).
• Lightly grease your grill rack or pan and grill the scallops over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side (less if they are not the extra-large). DO NOT OVER COOK!
• Remove the scallops from the skewers (if used) and serve over the cucumber relish.
