Very simple. Once the scallops, 2 vegetables, and 2 herbs had been washed and dried, the tomatoes and oregano chopped, and the basil torn, this meal came together in about 10 minutes, and pumping a minimum of heat into the kitchen. fourteen medium scallops from P.E. & D.D. Seafood, washed, drained and very thoroughly dried on paper towels (twice), generously …

scallops, milkweed buds; tomato, garlic; wild cress salad
it was one of those dinners that work out so well it makes up for any number of indifferent outings that may have preceded it. Milkweed was the star, first, because I had never heard of its use in cookery; second, because I came upon it by chance in our local Greenmarket, offered by the local farmer himself; …
grilled scallops; grilled tuna, fennel seeds, vetch; potatoes
Two seafood courses are a little unusual for us, but these were for cause. My fish dealer suggested I get something extra to go with the tuna steak I had just picked out, and, forgetting that a little tuna goes a long way, I yielded. I didn’t want to put them together, and when I remembered that …
scallops and ramp butter; sautéed tomatoes; rainbow chard
untitled (rose scallops) 2005 I forgot to return my memory card to the camera before I shot, or thought I had shot, pictures of this meal, so there is no pictorial record of it; the image above describes several forms of shellfish, and last night we had only scallops, but I like the photograph. I captured it in a fish stall, …
scallops with herb butter; tomatoes, cress; mustard greens
almost over the top, at least by my measure I rarely include a cream sauce in any of my cooking, and in fact the finishing touch on these scallops was not actually a cream sauce, but a ‘composed butter’ which included fish juices, herbs and wild garlic, a small remainder from this earlier meal, kept frozen in a ramekin until now. …
scallops, cress; roasted tomatoes, oregano; rapini, garlic
I’ve not been able to find decent-size scallops at the Greenmarket this winter. On Monday however P.E. & D. D. Seafood had some that appeared larger than any I had seen since last fall, so I scooped up a few for this dinner. Along with them we enjoyed the very last of the cultivated upland cress I …
speck, greens; scallops, pea shoots; roasted parsnips; kale
‘Dinner in the din[ing room], nothing could be finer’. We had family, one of whom had never been to New York, so we decided not to stay in the breakfast room. The red placemat should have been a dead giveaway, even if I hadn’t described the location, which involved a mahogany table. We started out …
scallops with cayenne pepper, oregano; lacinato with garlic
very simple, and very fast The Long Island scallops available in the Union Square Greenmarket lately have been smaller than expected, or desired, and that probably explains why I decided to try embellishing the preparation of the mollusks with both a spice and an herb this time, although it’s not my usual style. sixteen smallish sea …
grilled scallops on a bed of salsify, wreathed in arugula
not an Advent wreath, but it does look festive; probably tastes much better For years I had been trying very hard to find a way to use salsify. The vegetable had long fascinated me, at least partly for its homeliness. The fact that I could find almost nothing in the way of a recipe in any …
scallops with basil, tomatoes; triggerfish, lovage; lacinato
Nice picture. This was also just about a perfect meal, for the cook and the diner, but to be totally honest, I have to quickly add that it gets that salute only by the standards and means of a modest kitchen and a quite-ordinary competence. Also, it was the child of necessity, or more exactly, the happy outcome of a glitch …
