Instructions
- 1.Place cauliflower florets in a pot and steam for 10-12 minutes until very tender. Alternatively, boil in lightly salted water and drain thoroughly.
- 2.While the cauliflower cooks, heat 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 3.Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a blender with the minced garlic, chopped herbs, 15ml of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- 4.Season the dry scallops with salt. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in the same skillet over high heat. Carefully place the scallops in the pan, ensuring they don't touch.
- 5.Sear the scallops for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side, until they have a deep golden-brown crust and are just opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
- 6.To serve, spoon a generous amount of the cauliflower purée onto each plate. Arrange the seared scallops on top and serve the sautéed asparagus and mushrooms on the side.
