Grilled Scallops with Pear-Ginger Coulis Recipe

Serves/Makes: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
• 4 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
• 3 medium-size firm-ripe pears, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar or white wine vinegar

How to cook Grilled Scallops with Pear-Ginger Coulis:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a 2-quart pan over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft but not browned (3 to 5 minutes).
• Add ginger, pears, and vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender when pierced (12 to 15 minutes).
• Transfer mixture to a food processor or blender whirl until smoothly pureed. Return to pan and keep warm over lowest heat.
• Meanwhile, cut scallops in half horizontally, if necessary, to make 1/2-inch-thick discs. Lightly mix scallops and remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
• Saute lightly for 5-7 minutes until scallops are opaque in center.
