Seared Scallops

Minted Sweet Pea Puree

Cornbread Crisp

Seared Foie Gras

Black Truffle Foam

Method

Preparing the Minted Sweet Pea Puree

  1. 1

    Cook the Peas

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the fresh peas until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and cool.

  2. 2

    Blend the Puree

    In a blender, combine the cooked peas, fresh mint, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Making the Cornbread Crisp

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, milk, egg, melted butter, and salt. Mix until just combined.

  2. 4

    Bake the Cornbread

    Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let cool, then cut into crisp pieces.

Cooking the Scallops and Foie Gras

  1. 5

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Sear the Foie Gras

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. Sear the foie gras for about 30 seconds on each side until browned.

Preparing the Black Truffle Foam

  1. 7

    Make the Foam

    In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, truffle oil, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently until warm, then use an immersion blender to froth until foamy.

Plating

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a dollop of minted sweet pea puree, top with seared scallops, a piece of cornbread crisp, and a slice of seared foie gras. Drizzle with black truffle foam before serving.
