SCALLOPS WITH CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower, red onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic and curry powder in a large bowl. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, without stirring, until very tender and well browned in spots, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the scallops with salt, add to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until no longer translucent, about 1 more minute; transfer the scallops to a plate.
• Toss the cauliflower mixture with the raisins and cashews and divide among plates. Top with the scallops and cilantro; drizzle with the yogurt. Serve with lime wedges.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH ZUCCHINI RIBBONS AND MINT-CHIVE OIL

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. (Or you can use wooden toothpicks.)
• For the scallops: Slice the zucchini lengthwise on a mandoline into thin slices, about 1/8- inch thick. When you get to the seedy center, rotate the zucchini 1/3 turn and continue to shave slices until you hit seeds. Give the zucchini a final 1/3 turn and shave off the remaining slices. (You want to end up with the same number of zucchini slices as you have scallops.) Discard the seedy center. Wrap a zucchini ribbon around the circumference of each scallop. Thread 2 to 3 scallops per skewer or 1 per toothpick.
• For the dressing: Whisk the mint, chives, orange juice, 2 tablespoons oil, limoncello, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Cut up the tomatoes, season them with salt and black pepper to taste, and divide them among 4 plates.
• Brush scallops with oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Grill, turning to cook both sides, until zucchini and scallops are cooked through and have distinct grill marks, about 8 minutes total. Divide the scallops evenly among the plates, drizzle scallops and tomatoes with the dressing, and serve hot or at room temperature.
