Ingredients
POM Beurre Fondue:
- juice from 2 to 3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates,* or 1 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 1/2 cup mango juice or nectar
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cubed
Seared Day Boat Scallops:
- 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 oz. pea shoots with tendrils
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 day boat scallops (size U/8 or larger)
Preparation
POM Beurre Fondue: Prepare fresh pomegranate juice*, combine the pomegranate juice and mango juice (or nectar) in a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, reducing to 1 cup, add the rice wine vinegar and bring to a heavy simmer, remove from the stove and swirl in the butter, cube by cube, until completely melted. (You can use a handheld immersion blender to better emulsify the sauce.)
Seared Day Boat Scallops: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a sautee pan over medium heat, add the pea shoots, cooking until wilted, about 1 minute, finish with chopped garlic, sea salt and black pepper, place small beds of wilted shoots onto serving plates, heat another saute pan over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and quickly sear the scallops, being careful not to overcook (about 1 minute each side), remove from the pan and season with sea salt and black pepper, place on top of wilted shoots and sauce with the pomegranate beurre fondue.
