To Finish
  • At Nesai we serve the scallops atop the bed of corn risotto in a long rectangular Asian-inspired dish.
  • Method
  • Place large pot of boiling water on stove and bring to a boil.
  • Remove husks from corn and place in boiling water for 6 minutes.
  • Cool and cut kernels from the cob.
  • Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat; add corn kernels, shallots and garlic and lightly sauté.
  • Add vegetable or chicken broth and reduce by 75%.
  • Add heavy cream and reduce by half.
  • Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives and season to taste.
  • Heat an iron skillet with vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat until smoking.
  • Add scallops and cook until golden on both sides but still tender.
