Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Boil Jerusalem artichokes in salted water until tender. Drain well, peel, and puree in blender. Set aside in warm spot.

  2. Step 2

    Heat honey over medium heat until darkened. Add vinegar, and cook until thickened. Add sherry, and keep mixture warm.

  3. Step 3

    Heat peanut oil in a deep, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Thinly slice artichoke hearts. Drop into hot oil in batches, and cook until crisp and lightly browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm.

  4. Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season scallops. Add to pan, and cook until browned on one side, then turn, and cook a few seconds longer. Stir in butter, shallots and thyme. Remove scallops from pan, and add honey mixture. Bring to a boil.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon puree onto 4 serving plates. Divide scallops among plates, spoon sauce over and around, then top with crispy artichoke slices and julienned sage.
