Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower Puree

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Blend the Cauliflower

    Add heavy cream, 2 tbs of butter, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add remaining butter and garlic during the last minute of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the scallops.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, place a generous scoop of cauliflower puree. Top with seared scallops and garnish with chopped chives.
