Instructions
Prepare the Cauliflower Puree
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender.
Blend the Puree
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the blender with the cauliflower. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Set aside.
Cook the Asparagus
In a skillet, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Vanilla Bean Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the butter. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Season with salt.
Smoke the Scallops
Using a stovetop smoker, smoke the scallops for about 5-7 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through. If you don't have a smoker, you can grill them on a high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
