Sea Scallops with Saffron Aioli image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, plus 1 teaspoon zest
1/8 teaspoon (pinch) saffron threads
1/2 cup best-quality mayonnaise
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 to 16 large sea scallops
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the orange juice and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until orange juice is infused with the saffron; stir in the zest and remove from the heat to cool slightly. Whisk the orange mixture and the mayonnaise in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and set aside while you cook the scallops.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and pepper. When the oil is rippling, add the scallops and sear, turning once, until golden brown but still opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the scallops from the skillet to serving dishes, (3 to 4 per person), and drizzle with the aioli. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes about 24 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound sea scallops, cut horizontally into 1/3-inch rounds, rinsed and drained
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1 large egg at room temperature
5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1 small carrot, cut into fine julienne strips
1 small bunch of chives, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the scallops in 1 tablespoon of the oil, covered, over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Let the scallops cool in a bowl, covered loosely.
  • In a small bowl combine the saffron with 2 teaspoons hot water. In a blender or food processor blend together the egg, the lemon, juice, the mustard, the salt, and the pepper, with the motor running add the remaining 1 cup oil in a slow stream, and blend the mayonnaise until it is emulsified. Stir in the saffron mixture and salt to taste. Dip each scallop round, patted dry, into the saffron mayonnaise, coating it well, arrange it on a lettuce leaf, and garnish each hors d'oeuvre with some of the carrot and chives. (Any remaining saffron mayonnaise may be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables.)

Categories     Pepper     Appetizer     Bake     Scallop     Saffron     Pea     Couscous     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups water
3/4 couscous
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1 cup mayonnaise
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
lemon juice to taste
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
6 ounces sea scallops, quartered
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
six 18-by 14-inch sheets of phyllo, stacked between 2 sheets of wax paper and covered with a dampened kitchen towel
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 teaspoons fine dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • In a saucepan bring the water to a boil, stir in the couscous, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and the salt, and remove the pan from the heat. Let the couscous stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Set a rack over another saucepan of boiling water, put the saffron in a heatproof saucer on the rack, and let it steam for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is brittle. In a blender or small food processor blend the mayonnaise, the saffron, the garlic, and lemon juice. In a non-stick skillet heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the bell peppers, stirring, until they begin to brown. Add the scallops and sauté the mixture, stirring once or twice, for 1 minute, or until the scallops are just cooked through. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the peas and salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl fluff the couscous with a fork, stir in well the scallop mixture and 1/2 cup of the saffron-garlic mayonnaise, and let the filling cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a work surface arrange two 20-inch-long sheets of wax paper with the long sides overlapping slightly and facing you. Put 1 sheet of the phyllo on the wax paper, brush it with some of the butter, and sprinkle it with about 2 teaspoons of the bread crumbs. On this, layer, brush, and sprinkle 4 more sheets of the phyllo in the same manner and lay the sixth sheet of the_phyllo_ on top.
  • Spread the filling in a 3-inch-wide strip, mounding it on the phyllo 4 inches above the near long side, leaving a 2-inch border at each end. Using the wax paper as a guide, lift the bottom 4 inches of the pastry over the filling, fold in the ends, and roll up the strudel tightly. Transfer the strudel carefully, seam side down, to a lightly buttered baking sheet, brush it with the remaining butter, and bake it in the lower third of the oven for 25 minutes, or until it is golden. Let the strudel cool to warm on the baking sheet on a rack. The strudel may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled. Reheat the strudel in a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes. Serve the strudel warm, cut into 1-inch slices with a serrated knife, with the remaining saffron-garlic mayonnaise.

SCALLOPS IN SAFFRON SAUCE



Scallops in Saffron Sauce image

These are the most delicious scallops I have ever had. Perfect for a special occasion as an appetizer. I found the fish stock hard to find so I substituted vegetable stock and it was just as good. Also, I would imagine you could substitute the scallops for prawns.
