Apple-Apricot Plank-Roasted
Sea Scallops
6 - Large Sea Scallops (Serves 1)
Seasoning (lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked
pepper)
Apple Balsamic vinegar
One 4x7 single-use cedar cooking plank
Apple-Apricot chutney
Small sweet onion, diced
2 tsp. olive oil
1 cup apple juice
1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
2 oz apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 large Fuji apple, diced
3 oz. dried apricots, diced
Sweat onion in olive oil over medium heat
until translucent. Add juices, sugar, vinegar and salt.
Reduce mixture by 1/3, add apples and apricots and simmer
for 6-7 minutes. Strain and return liquid to heat and reduce
until syrupy and thick. Pour back over cooked fruits and
mix well. Chill for at least four hours. Remaining chutney
will last at least one week covered in the refrigerator.
Drizzle scallops with olive oil and fresh
lemon juice. Season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Char a 4x7 cooking plank over gas burner and place seasoned
scallops on hot plank. Broil scallops for 8-10 minutes or
until desired doneness. When thoroughly cooked, scallops
will remain slightly opaque in the center. Spoon chutney
on top of each scallop and drizzle with apple balsamic vinegar.
Place plank directly onto plate and garnish with apple chips.
