SEA SCALLOPS WITH CARAMELIZED ONION

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the onions, leeks, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook stirring frequently until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and shiitake mushrooms. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the peas, red pepper flakes and scallions.
• Season the broth with salt and pepper, to taste, and add a dash of sherry vinegar. Cook for 1 minute. Keep warm. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. In another large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Add the scallops and sear for 4 minutes. Flip the scallops, then squeeze in some lemon juice. Baste the scallops for 1 minute to finish cooking. Remove from heat. Spoon the caramelized onion mixture on serving plates and top each plate with 4 scallops. Serve.

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.

• 1. Prepare an outdoor grill with a high fire. Brush grill grate lightly with oil. Lightly rub steak with some olive oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence and salt and pepper to taste. Place tomatoes, scallions, and garlic cloves in a large bowl, coat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. Place steak on grill, arrange vegetables around it, and grill 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat reads 120degreesF to 125degreesF for rare; 125degreesF to 130degreesF for medium-rare; or 130degreesF to 135degreesF for medium, and the vegetables are charred. Transfer steak and vegetables to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• 3. Core tomatoes once cool enough to handle. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins and chop with tomatoes and scallions until chunky. Transfer vegetable relish, including juice, to a bowl and stir in remaining olive oil, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice meat against grain and on an angle, and transfer to a plate or platter. Serve with relish and grilled bread.
