PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WITH SAFFRON RICE

Steps:

• Make Saffron Rice: Pour stock into a medium-size pot (you will also need a tight-fitting lid). Place pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Stir in remaining rice ingredients. When stock is boiling, stir in the rice. Return to a boil, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low. Cook 12 to 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Without stirring, turn off the heat and, with the lid on, leave the pot on the burner another 5 to 10 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking the rice. You can keep the rice warm for an hour or more if you need to hold it. Stir in peas if using. Before serving, fluff with two forks. Adjust seasonings, adding a little salt or another squeeze of lemon juice if needed. While the rice is cooking, saute the scallops and mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter together over medium-high heat until just starting to smoke. Quickly add half of scallops to pan, flat side down. When the first side is golden brown, flip over and cook for another minute. Transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining scallops, adding more oil or butter if needed. Having a hot pan will give you the best results. Tent scallops with foil to keep warm. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and shallot in the butter until they release their liquid and some of it has evaporated. You want the mushrooms to still be a little firm. Set on a back burner and cover to keep warm. Make the Butter-Wine Sauce: Heat wine, lemon juice, zest, garlic, shallots, and thyme sprigs in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the liquid boils, then lower the heat to medium-low and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced down to about 2 tbsp, about 10 minutes. (To help know when you've reduced the sauce enough, place 2 tbsp water in a small bowl and use it to estimate the volume.) You can make the sauce to this point and hold it for up to a day. Reheat before continuing. Remove thyme sprigs, reduce the heat to low, and start adding the pieces of butter, one or two at a time, whisking rapidly. As the butter melts, add more pieces whisking constantly. When you only have a few pieces left, remove pan from heat and whisk in the last few pieces. The finished sauce should be thick and smooth. Season to taste with salt. Add scallops to sauce to reheat them. To Plate: Place a mound of rice in center of plate and top with scallops. Pour sauce around the edge of plate and scatter mushrooms over the top. Decorate with a sprig of thyme if you like. Serve hot.
