Description
Scallops' mild flavor is an ideal partner for spice blends — here, our Everything Rainbow adds sparkling flavor and textural contrast.Searing scallops is quick and simple to do but requires care and attention. This how-to reference will serve you well, whether you're cooking for a crowd or just for yourself. We've also included lines below for taking notes as you watch the class demo.Good bay or sea scallops are sweet with a mildly briny flavor and clean aroma. When seared, they should have a tender bite with a caramelized, golden-brown crust on one side (it's too easy to over-cook the scallops if you flip them and sear both sides). To be enjoyed at their best, they should be served right away, almost cooked to order.Be sure to choose scallops that are categorized as ‘dry,' which means they haven't been injected with water or saline. Those lower-quality scallops won't sear well.
