Note to self: The vegetable side dish may be difficult to recreate, since I’ve never before come across tromboncino (or zucchetta), but it was at least a terrific one-off, and a great companion to the excellent fresh scallops. Keep a sharp eye out for this vegetable. I really did splurge a bit, although unintentionally, in ordering …

stuffed scallops; Romano beans; fennel; heirlooms
I just got carried away with the vegetables and herbs this time, including lemon verbena; because it was there. A generous and very thoughtful farmer shared a sampling of herbs with me the other day when I was at the Greenmarket, and among them were a few sprigs of lemon verbena, something I hadn’t used in …
just-gathered scallops, fava; tautog, lacinato; berries
I’m indebted to Rhode Island for this meal. Ever since I learned that ‘blackfish’ was the same species I knew as ‘tautog’ when I lived in Rhode Island, it’s become a New York favorite. I had arrived a little late at the Union Square Greenmarket on Saturday, where both Eric and Paul, working the stall of …
grilled scallops; cauliflower, tomato, fennel, basil
Note to self: Yes, and very yes. I don’t know of any reason why this simple entrée should have turned out better than anythings scallop-related I’d prepared in the past, but it did. And the cauliflower/tomato/fennel dish was just as tasty as the shellfish. I had bought scallops earlier in the day at the greenmarket, …
grilled scallops, cress; tomato; White Russian kale
This scallops dish is a classic, at least for us, even on occasion including its accompaniments (although the details will never be quite the same). scallops from Blue Moon Fish Company, thoroughly dried (to ensure the grill marks), seasoned and pan-grilled briefly on both sides, finished with a squeeze of juice from a local lemon grown by Fantastic Gardens of Long …
scallops with onion tops; tomato with oregano; kale
Hunting and gathering: I picked up the scallops Monday in the Greenmarket, and I already had some kale, but I also wanted to add something which would both fill out the color palette on the plate and add to the modest amount of the serving, at least psychologically. I pulled a few tomatoes off of the breakfast room window sill. The …
pan-grilled scallops, roasted tomatoes, cavalo nero
I haven’t looked using the search function on this site, but there’s a pretty good chance that at some time in the past I’ve posted a meal which featured the same three main elements included in this one. We like each of them a lot, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they had gotten together more …
cumin-rubbed scallops; a bed of collards & pancetta
Note to self: This is an unbelievably easy and extraordinarily delicious entrée, employing two of my favorite things, so where has it been all these years? This image of near perfection doesn’t look real even to me, and yet it’s a dish I put together myself a few hours ago. Among the several other delights and …
grilled scallops, roasted tomatoes, boiled potatoes
The meal had to be quick, and it had to include vegetables I already had on hand, because, other than my purchase of the scallops at the Greenmarket that day I had given no thought to what I would be making for dinner in the evening. I had been concentrating only on the fact that …
basil-stuffed monkfish/scallops; potato; cavalo nero
Although extremely tasty in the end, the seafood ingredients of this entrée were cobbled together somewhat from necessity: When I arrived at the Greenmarket stall, the monkfish tails were all the same size, each a bit too small to be able to feed two, but too large to add a second. I made the quick decision of buying four …
