Pistachio-Crusted Scallops Zach DeSart

"For maximum flavor, I like to toast the nuts until they're almost burnt."

Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted, shelled raw natural pistachios
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
8 large sea scallops (side muscle removed)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted, shelled raw natural pistachios and cook, stirring often, until nuts are deeply toasted, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Chop pistachios. Place in a small bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme. Season 8 large sea scallops (side muscle removed) with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add scallops; sear until crusty brown, about 2 minutes per side. Roll scallops in pistachio mixture.

  • Good recipe, with two reservations: I found it hard to get the coating to stick to the scallops; and I'd cut back on the tarragon unless it is really your favorite herb taste - it overpowered in my mixture as done to recipe.

  • This was such a simple recipe and yet such a great flavor. Served it with a Pistachio Raspberry and Goat Cheese sald and it was a great combination. Definitely would make this again.

  • Delicious and really simple. The coating of the scallops after cooking lets you taste the freshness of the herbs.

  • Outstanding! The flavors of the fresh herbs and toasted pistachios meld perfectly with the seared scallops. Served this with the butternut squash risotto (also on this site), and it was a winner.
