Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sunchokes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the sunchokes, then cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.

  2. 2

    Make the Tomato Jam

    In a saucepan, combine the tomato jam with a splash of water and heat over medium-low until warmed through. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Centennial hops and stir for about 1 minute to infuse the butter. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper, then carefully add them to the hot skillet. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the roasted sunchokes, top with the seared scallops, and drizzle with the infused butter. Serve the warmed tomato jam on the side.
