Grilled Scallops With Kale And Olives Food

CREAMY LEMONY SCALLOPS, OVER KALE AND JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Scallops -- Bring the scallops to room temperature while you start the other side dishes.
• Rice -- I used Jasmine, just the boil in bag rice. Now you can use any rice you want or have on hand. But I was in a hurry and this in the cabinet, and it works just fine. Five minutes in the microwave in a bowl of water and it is so quick and easy, why not? Just follow the directions on the box or bag. This recipe serves 4 so I like about 1/2 cup per serving. I actually used 2 bags. But again, use anything you want.
• After the rice is done, add butter, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to taste, lemon zest, lemon juice. Mix well and cover and set to the side. It is done. You can reheat for 30 seconds in the micro if necessary. But it should stay warm covered.
• Kale -- In a large saute pan (non stick is NOT preferred). Add butter and olive oil. Bring to medium high heat and add the garlic and shallot and saute until slightly soft, 1-2 minutes. Add the kale and chicken broth and cook until slightly wilted it only takes a couple of minutes. Then add the vinegar, salt and pepper and remove to a bowl, cover and set to the side.
• Scallops -- In the same pan you cooked the kale in after lightly wiping clean, melt olive oil and butter. Pat your scallops dry and salt and pepper well. Cook on medium high heat until nice and golden brown on one side and then flip. Don't move them around, just let them get a cut crust on the first side before flipping. At least 2-3 minutes. Once flipped the other side doesn't take that long. Remove and cover with foil.
• Sauce -- In that same pan (we are saving pots and pans with this dish) add the white wine to deglaze the pan, reduce the heat to medium / medium low and add the chicken broth, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper and cream. Cook 2-3 minutes still on medium heat. Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice. Heat just a minute and check seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
• Serving -- Add a spoon of the rice on each plate about 1/2 cup, then top with the kale, and top it off with the seared scallops. Drizzle with the creamy lemon sauce and enjoy! That is just perfect.
• It may seem like a lot -- but each part is very quick and very easy. When I make this I just get everything ready as it goes so quick.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH FARRO AND PLUM SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the farro as the label directs. Meanwhile, whisk the orange juice, vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the plums, fennel, shallot and jalapeño and toss well to coat.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Toss the scallops with the coriander, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
• Fluff the farro with a fork and add it to the plum-fennel mixture. Stir in the mint. Divide the farro salad among plates and top with the scallops.

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.

Steps:

• Add the scallops to the bag or bowl. Toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl.
• Refrigerate and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. You don't want to marinate for longer than that, as the acid in the lemon juice will start to cook the scallops.
• Thread the scallops onto skewers. This is optional, if you have very large scallops you can skip the skewers and toss them directly onto the grill.
• Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium high heat.
• Place the skewers or loose scallops on the grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until scallops are firm and opaque.
