1
Prepare the Sunchoke Puree
Peel and chop the sunchokes into small pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and place in a blender with heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2
Make the Cilantro Soy Lime Sauce
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro. Stir well and set aside.
3
Sear the Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Do not overcrowd the pan; sear in batches if necessary.
4
Plate the Dish
On each plate, spread a generous spoonful of sunchoke puree. Place 3 seared scallops on top and drizzle with the cilantro soy lime sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
