Scallops with Citrus and Quinoa

F
rom Foodnetwork

â¢ 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed well

â¢ Kosher salt

â¢ 3 oranges

â¢ 4 tangerines

â¢ 2 tablespoons sugar

â¢ 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

â¢ 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed

â¢ 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

â¢ 1 1/4 pounds sea scallops , tough foot muscles removed

â¢ Freshly ground pepper

â¢ 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

â¢ 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

Combine the quinoa, 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the water is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes.

Meanwhile, grate 1 teaspoon orange zest, then juice all 3 oranges and the tangerines into a bowl. Sprinkle the sugar in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until dark amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vinegar, citrus juices and zest, and the coriander.

Return to medium heat and boil until thick, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter; keep warm.

Season the scallops on one side with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallops seasoned-side down and sear until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 more minutes.

Fluff the quinoa with a fork and divide among plates. Top with the scallops, drizzle with the citrus sauce and sprinkle with the parsley

Thin Apple Tart In less than an hour from start to finish, you can serve this impressive and elegant dessert. 1/2 of a 1 lb pkg butter puff pastry, rolled into a 10" square 1/2 cup whole blanched almonds 1/3 cup poppy seeds 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon rind 1/4 tsp cinnamon pinch salt 3 apples, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp butter, melted 2 tbsp brown sugar Place pastry on parchment-lined baking sheet. Without cutting all the way through, score a 1/2" border around edges. In food processor, pulse almonds, poppy seeds, sugar, lemon rind, cinnamon and salt until finely ground (like fine-ground coffee). Spread evenly over dough within border. Toss apples and lemon juice; arrange slices over almond mixture. Brush top with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in 400* oven until pastry is puffed and apples are tender, about 25 minutes.

In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into the butter mixture until blended.
