Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gremolata

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Clean the white beech mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Trim the leeks, slice them in half lengthwise, and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut the leeks into ½ inch slices.

Cooking the Scallops

  1. 3

    Grill the Scallops

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the scallops on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and let them rest.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Sauté the Leeks and Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil. Once hot, add the sliced leeks and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the white beech mushrooms and sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until both the leeks and mushrooms are tender. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Lemon White Truffle Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining white truffle oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the sautéed leeks and mushrooms as a bed. Place the grilled scallops on top and drizzle with the lemon white truffle sauce. Finish by sprinkling the gremolata over the scallops for added flavor and garnish.
