SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC & ASPARAGUS PURÉE

• INGREDIENTS •

12 Large Scallops 2 Tbsp Olive Oil ½ Tsp Diamond Kosher Salt 2 cups fresh or frozen Asparagus - chopped ¼ cup White Wine ½ cup Heavy Cream 4 cloves Garlic - sliced 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley - chopped Cracked Black Pepper • DIRECTIONS •

MADE RIGHT HERE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND.

Sprinkle the scallops with kosher salt, and then set them aside while you make the asparagus purée. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and toss in the garlic and asparagus. Cook until tender, about 2 min. Strain the asparagus and garlic, and then immediately submerge them into ice water, to keep the colour dark green and to halt the cooking process. Blend together the white wine, heavy cream, parsley and cooked asparagus and garlic using a high setting on your blender until the mixture is smooth. Heat a large skillet to high - skillet is ready when a drop of water sizzles and spits when added to the pan. Add olive oil to the hot skillet, and then gently place each Scallop into the pan. Allow scallops to sear for about 2 min, do not move it around, it will be easier to remove once it has developed it’s golden brown crust. Gently turn each Scallop over and sear for another minute. Serve on top of the asparagus purée and add sprinkled parsley and cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
