Preparation
1 These seared scallops with beurre blanc sauce are easy to make!
Step number one, chop 1 shallot finely and put it in a sauce pan.
2 Pour 100 millilitre of white wine and 50 millilitre of white wine vinegar in a measuring cup. Add this to the sauce pan and simmer this on low heat. Reduce the sauce to a third.
3 Pour the sauce through a sieve into a bowl.
4 Clean the sauce pan in between, make sure it's clean and dry.
5 Bring back the pan to medium heat and add the wine vinegar mixture.
6 Add a tablespoon of double cream. Take your whisk and give it a good stir.
7 Take 150 grams of cold butter cubes. Bring in the butter to the sauce and keep on whisking. Make sure the sauce doesn't boil, otherwise the sauce will split.
8 Season the sauce with some salt and pepper.
9 Take a non sticky frying pan on medium, high heat. Add a good splash of vegetable oil.
10 Dry your scallops with a piece of kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
11 Leave the scallops in the pan and do not move them, pan fry the scallops 2 to 3 minutes and flip them over. Fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until they are beautiful tender juicy on the inside and caramelized on the outside.
12 Place the scallops on a plate and add the creamy butter sauce. Enjoy your seared scallops with beurre blanc sauce, perfect as a small bite or an entree.
