Sautéed Scallops with Chanterelles and Frisee

This dish is remarkably simple to prepare, and it's special enough to serve for company. Take me seriously when I say to put those sea scallops in the pan and DON'T MOVE THEM. They'll cook all the way through without being turned over or tossed or messed with in any way. Just make sure that the temperature isn't so high that it burns them.

Ingredients:

12 large sea scallops

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 shallots, thinly sliced

1/2 pound fresh Chanterelle mushrooms

4 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

3 heads frisee, washed and spun dry

extra virgin olive oil for a garnish





Preparation:


Season the scallops with Fresh Cracked Pepper and set aside

Use a 10 or 12-inch non-stick pan to heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until smoking. Place the scallops in the pan and don't move them. Let them cook until crisp and golden brown, without moving, for five to six minutes.

Use a 12 to 14-inch sauté pan to heat the remaining oil until smoking over high heat. Add the shallots and sauté them until soft. This should take three to four minutes.

Add the mushrooms and toss for three to four minutes until nicely softened. Add the vinegar and then the frisee. Toss quickly, season with salt and pepper, then divide among four plates.

Without turning the scallops, remove and arrange three on each salad. Drizzle with a fine quality extra virgin olive oil and serve.
