INSTRUCTIONS
For the scallops: Remove the tough muscle attachment from the sides of the
scallops. Rinse them briefly, drain, and dry on paper towels. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sesame seeds onto a small salad plate
and dip one side of each scallop in the seeds. Heat one tablespoon of
canola oil in a medium saute pan until hot. Put the scallops into the pan,
sesame seeds down, and saute them for 3 minutes or until the crust is
slightly crisp. Turn the scallops and brown the other side for 3 minutes or
until the scallops are nearly cooked through and opaque. Remove scallops
from the saute pan, drain them on a paper towel-lined dish, and cover with
foil to keep them warm. For the Orange-Ginger Sauce: Preheat oven to 400
degrees. Put shallots in a small baking dish with 1 teaspoon oil, cover
with foil, and roast for 30 to 40 minutes until soft. Pour the orange juice
into a saucepan and boil until reduced by half. Remove from heat and cool
to room temperature. Put the orange juice, saffron or turmeric, shallots
and vinegar or lemon juice into a blender. Puree until smooth. Add the
remaining oil in a thin stream as the motor runs. Blend until the sauce is
smooth and shiny. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For the Squash or
Sweet Potato Puree and Broccoli: Steam squash or sweet potato cubes for 20
minutes or until tender with a collapsible steamer in a saucepan. Puree the
squash in a food processor. Season with mace or allspice, salt and pepper.
If puree is too thick, add some water. Steam broccoli in small saucepan
with a steamer or blanch in boiling water until tender, about 3 to 5
minutes. Season broccoli with some olive oil, salt and pepper. To assemble:
Pour some Orange-Ginger Sauce on each of four warm dinner plates. Tilt the
plates to spread the sauce evenly over the entire base. Put a spoonful of
the squash or sweet potato puree in the middle of the plate. Arrange the
scallops and broccoli in a circle around the puree. This recipe yields 4
servings.
