Scallops

Carrot Grapefruit Purée

Sauce Newburg

Garnish

Method

Scallops Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Scallops

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the sea scallops with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden.

Carrot Grapefruit Purée Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Purée

    In a saucepan, cover the chopped carrots with water and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add grapefruit juice, butter, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Sauce Newburg Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in sherry wine and let it reduce by half. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and gradually add a bit of the cream mixture to temper. Then add the egg yolk mixture back into the sauce. Stir continuously until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper.

Plating

  1. 4

    Assemble and Serve

    On a plate, spread a generous spoonful of carrot grapefruit purée. Place the roasted scallops on top, drizzle with Sauce Newburg, and garnish with caviar and microgreens.
