Instrukcje
- 1.Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until very tender. Alternatively, boil them.
- 2.Transfer the drained, cooked cauliflower to a blender with 15g of butter, one minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
- 3.Thoroughly pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. This is crucial for a good sear.
- 4.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully place the scallops in the pan, ensuring they don't touch. Sear for 90-120 seconds per side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
- 5.Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 45g of butter, the sage leaves, and the second minced garlic clove. Cook, swirling the pan, for 2-3 minutes until the butter browns and smells nutty.
- 6.Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. To serve, spoon a bed of cauliflower purée onto each plate, top with the seared scallops, and drizzle the sage brown butter over everything.
