Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cup Granny Smith apples, julienned
- 1 tablespoons turmeric
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup 35% cooking cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fleur de sel and fresh ground pepper
- 12 large scallops
- Fresh cilantro, snipped (to garnish)
Method
- In a saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter with the apples and turmeric. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Deglaze with the maple syrup and reduce by half. Add the cream, adjust the turmeric seasoning, and add the chopped cilantro. Simmer over very low heat for about 2 minutes to achieve a nice cream.
- In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil on medium-high. Salt and pepper the scallops to taste and place them, one by one, in the pan. Cook about 2 minutes on each side to give them a nice colour.
- Spoon the cream onto individual plates, arrange the scallops on top, and sprinkle with the snipped cilantro.
