16 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, July 22, 2010 Part 2 of a two-week cooking adventure As promised, today's recipe is the continuation of last Lori Gysel & week's. Last week Gerry we showed you how Kentner to make the tomato marmalade and the leek fondue. Today you'll see how to make the scallops and how to put the whole thing together. If you saved the photo from last week, you'll notice that there are also parmesan tuilles as garnish­ they also made these at the cooking class, but we thought it was a bit of overkill for our article, so we decided not to include the recipe. Now, chances are good that you aren't going to make this recipe right now­ especially if the current heat wave continues, but a dinner of scallops makes a perfect summer meal with a glass (or two) of white wine. When you go shopping for scallops, be sure to spend the money and buy the large sea scallops­ don't think you're saving by buying the little ones. They are just not the same and will not work in this recipe­ save them for making chowder with. Also, be sure you are buying them fresh. They should have no odour at all and should not be slimy­ slippery yes, but slimy no. The most important step in getting a proper sear on the scallops is the patting dry of them before they hit the pan! So don't skip this step. Seasoning with salt and pepper is also key and then ensuring you are using a hot pan. Have fun and keep cooking! Email questions and comments to Lori and Gerry at whatscookin@ independentfreepress.com Sea Scallops Ingredients · 30-40 large sea scallops · 1/4 cup cup olive oil · 1/4 cup cup butter · coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper Method Rinse scallops with cold water and then pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp butter. Heat till bubbling. Place no more than half the scallops in the pan­ you can't overload the pan or the scallops won't sear properly. Sear 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining scallops. Michael Gysel, son of Lori and grandson of Gerry impressed chefs Richard Obarka and Krista Van Wagner at a cooking class he shared with grandma at the Culinary Arts Centre in Buffalo earlier this year. To serve, place warm leek fondue on a serving platter. Arrange scallops on top. Top each scallop with a teaspoon of tomato marmalade. Voila!
