Scallops & Enoki

I saw some beautiful and big Canadian scallops which reminded me of a recent Jean Georges recipe calling for scallops, truffles and parmesan. I love combining fish and cheese, so I've been wanting to do this one. Here, I replace the truffles with some enoki and little truffle oil.

4 nice scallops
a couple handfuls of enoki
fresh thyme
minced garlic
medium sherry
butter
EVOO
rapeseed oil
Maldon sea salt
ground pepper
chives
parsley

  1. saute enoki in EVOO and a little bit of butter
  2. add thyme, and when enoki are done, add minced garlic and stir for half minute
  3. add a bit of sherry, let alcohol burn off, reduce heat, add a bit more fresh butter, sprinkle parsley and chives
  4. season scallops with EVOO, rapeseed, salt and pepper
  5. turn pan on super high heat for 3 minutes
  6. sear scallops on each side for about a minute each depending on size
  7. to serve, put scallops on plates with enoki served around
  8. grate very finely some parmesan over the scallops (not the enoki), season with a bit more salt and pepper, drizzle of EVOO
