INSTRUCTIONS
Blanch the haricot vert and reserve. Finely julienne red pepper and reserve. Clean all the greens. Trim and cut frisee in half and reserve along with haricot vert and peppers. Vinaigrette: Prepare vinaigrette by blending all ingredients. Almonds: Prepare almonds by caramelizing honey, then add in spices and stir in almonds. Remove from heat and quickly separate almonds onto an oiled sheet pan so they wont clump together. Allow to cool. Scallops: Clean the scallops and reserve. Prepare the glaze by combining sugar, water and spice in a small pan and reducing to a thick syrup. Strain into pear nectar. To Finish: In one saute pan season and sear the frisee, toss in the other greens, haricot vert, peppers and the vinaigrette. Season and toss, then remove to plates. In a second saute pan, which should be very hot, season and sear the scallops then glaze and arrange on salad. Garnish with honey-spice almonds. This recipe yields 4 servings.
