Recipe: Scallop "BLT" sandwich
Ingredients
- 3 "lions paw" scallops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces clarified butter
- 1 brioche plank
- 4 leaves Lola Rosa
- 2 slices applewood smoked bacon, cooked
- 1 tablespoon black pepper and chive aioli (see recipe)
- Heirloom tomato salad 6 ounces (see recipe)
Preparation
Remove the connector muscle from each scallop. Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
Using a non-stick skillet, sear the scallops over medium heat with clarified butter for two minutes per side. Place the scallops on a hot platter and finish cooking in a dutch oven for three minutes. While the scallops are cooking, toast the brioche.
Once the brioche is toasted spread 1/2 tablespoon of the aioli on the bread. Place the bread on a serving dish and arrange the Lola Rosa, or your favorite greens, over the bread.
Break the bacon slices into three pieces and scatter them over the lettuce. Place the scallops over the bacon and place two ounces of the tomato salad over the top and around the scallops.
Place the remaining four ounces of the tomato salad at the opposite end of the serving platter. Serve immediately.
Tips
Note: Scallops should be cooked over medium heat. If the pan is over heated, the scallops will scorch.
