Ingredients
2 cups fish stock
2 ounces unsalted butter at room temperature
3 ounces assorted sliced mushrooms, wild or cultivated
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces mixed greens like Swiss chard, turnip greens, baby kale or spinach, in small pieces
12 ounces sea scallops
Salt and white pepper to taste
Olive oil for grilling
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat grill or broiler.
- Step 2
Bring stock to boil in a saucepan; whisk in butter bit by bit.
- Step 3
Add mushrooms and thyme and reduce stock by half.
- Step 4
Add greens and simmer until greens are wilted.
- Step 5
Season scallops with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Grill or broil just until done, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on size of scallops.
- Step 6
Remove greens and mushrooms from stock and arrange on four salad-size plates and keep warm. Consistency of stock will depend on how much water the greens gave off. For a lightly thickened stock, you may need to reduce the mixture more.
- Step 7
Arrange scallops on greens, slicing large scallops, and finish with thickened stock.
