Scallops & Potatoes, Version 1.0

July 2, 2011 by ericriveracooks

The scallops I bought from a store were absolutely atrocious, nothing close to the ones I get in the restaurant. I need to nail the size of the potato and scallop. Honey comb in the middle is nice and the muscat/orange vinaigrette was nice as well. Buy better scallops and fix potatoes then there might be something here. Scalloped Potatoes…..I never had them until about a year or so ago……I thought I was going to get scallops and potatoes…..I was […]

Leek Wrapped Seared Scallop Pincho, Garlic Stuffed Olive, and Alfredo with Basil Flower Garnish

May 14, 2010 by ericriveracooks

My leeky scallop idea worked out better than I had originally thought. I originally wanted to do a leek three ways with the scallop but the main thing I wanted to see was how the scallop would react with the leek being wrapped around it while it was being seared….it worked! I took the three ways idea in a different path because I have changed my mind about it….when I do it I’m going to do it with a raw […]

Hamachi Miso Broth with Light Seared and Steamed Seafood

April 23, 2010 by ericriveracooks

It’s a combination of this (click) and this (click) but taken to the next level. I refined the broth to be a little more clear. I’m not done with this dish yet. You can see a little about what I’m talking about in the top right of the picture. It’s part of my never ending fascination with hot & cold dishes. Next! Eric

Fried Pork Chop, Scallops, and Aji Dulce Relish

April 16, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Ay papi! Pork chop brined in brown sugar and a few secret spices. The scallops are salt brined then seared in clarified butter. The aji dulce relish is made with pimentos, pimenton dulce, and red bell peppers….it’s sautéed in a pan sauce I made when the pork chops were done frying….think brown butter…..think amazing. Eric…..powered by pork.

Seared Scallop, Iberico Ham, Sauteed Golden Beet, with Yellow Bell Pepper Coulis

March 12, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Course 3 of 4. The coulis was inspired by a recipe from the Rover’s cookbook. I seared the scallop in Iberico ham fat……because I’m awesome. The ladies from Savour in Ballard hooked me up with the fat pieces because they’re the best ever. Here is a picture of it as I was rendering it down in the flat cast iron pan I have (purchased it at a senior center for $8!!) Took the fat, seared the scallops. Blanched the golden […]
