BAY SCALLOPS WITH FENNEL, ENDIVE AND ROSEMARY-ORANGE CARAMEL GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt sugar in medium sauté pan over high heat. When sugar colors around edges, add a piece of rosemary, and stir until sugar is light golden-brown.
• Stand back, and stir in vinegar; caramel will spatter. When vinegar evaporates, stir in juice and simmer. Reduce by half; sauce should lightly coat a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Toss scallops with salt, pepper and flour. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat until pan starts to smoke. Shake off excess flour from scallops, and put them in pan with remaining rosemary. Brown 1 minute, turn scallops over, add 1/2 tablespoon butter, and brown 1 to 2 minutes more; transfer to a warm plate.
• Return pan to medium heat, and add remaining butter along with fennel and endive. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of pan until vegetables soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Return scallops to pan, and add glaze. Stir everything together for just a minute, taste for salt and pepper, and discard rosemary. Divide among four warm shallow soup plates; serve immediately.

ROSEMARY-GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pull off and discard crescent-shaped muscle on side of each scallop that has one. Strip leaves off bottom 2 inches of rosemary sprigs (slide them off with your thumb and forefinger). Reserve leaves, and set sprigs aside. Cut prosciutto into strips just large enough to wrap around scallops (about 1 by 3 inches).
• Lay a scallop flat on a work surface. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around it. Skewer a rosemary sprig through prosciutto and scallop to other side. Repeat with remaining scallops. Arrange scallops in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on both sides, sprinkle with rosemary leaves and season with salt and pepper. (Go easy on salt, as prosciutto is fairly salty.) Marinate for 15 minutes, while you light grill.
• Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Brush and oil grate. Arrange scallops on grate, and grill until just cooked, about 2 minutes a side. Serve at once.

Thread 4 scallops onto each rosemary branch or bamboo skewer.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Serve scallops with potato salad and mango salsa.
