Featured Dish: Pan Roasted Scallops

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Our featured entrée this month is the pan roasted scallops with curried sun choke barigoule & kumquat relish.

In this dish I am combining the richness of an artichoke stew with the sweet spicyness of thai inspired curry, and contrasting the dish with the tartness of a kumquat relish. We were trying to combine all flavors of spicy, sweet, sour, salty and bitter all in one dish at the same time playing on the hot and cold side of things, hot scallops with cold relish. This dish hopefully touches all areas of the pallet.
