Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Almonds and Raisins

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and raisins, sautéing until the almonds are golden and the raisins are plump, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In the skillet, lower the heat and add the steamed cauliflower, capers, and the almond-raisin mixture. Toss gently to combine, then add the remaining tablespoon of butter to melt through. Serve the scallops on top of the cauliflower mixture.
