- Roasted scallops with vanilla and cauliflower snowflakes
01.
Cut the vanilla pods lengthwise in half, and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife, then place in a small saucepan. Add 100 g olive oil. Let infuse for 2-3 minutes at 60°C.
02.
Blanch olives twice starting in cold water and bring to a boil.
03.
In a small saucepan, sauté the finely chopped onion in butter until golden-brown. Add water, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Pass through a chinois strainer. Press with a small ladle until you obtain a rich jus and set aside in another small saucepan for later reheating.
04.
Take the cauliflower and cut into large florets off the main stem. Select the largest ones and cut into 12 slices, each 2 mm thick, to obtain small, visually appealing trees. Set aside 2 raw florets. Take the rest of the florets and the trimmings, put them in a small saucepan with the milk and vanilla pod, cut in half without the seeds. Season with salt and pepper and cook gently, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod. Blend it quickly to a very fine purée. Return to the saucepan, ready to reheat.
05.
Ask your fishmonger to open the scallops, clean them quickly in cold water, then pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Then pan-fry them in very hot vanilla olive oil until lightly browned. Before serving, add a drop of lemon juice to each one
06.
Arrange 3 scallops on a plate, one behind the other over a dollop of purée, with the 3 browned cauliflower florets fanned out. Place a small amount of cauliflower purée on the stem. Coat scallops with the onion jus.
07.
Using a teaspoon, drizzle vanilla oil over the scallops and cauliflower florets, making sure to remove any vanilla seeds. Using a cheese grater, grate the 2 raw florets to create the snowflakes. Arrange on the scallops and cauliflower. Garnish scallops and florets with a few olives.
