Scallop with carrot powder





Starter or dinner

Ingredients:

1 large scallop (8-12 per lb) a person (small starter)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp of clarified unsalted butter
1 tsp carrot powder

Serving 1 scallop as small starter or multiply as needed. You can serve them as dinner with rice (SAFFRON RICE). The main thing is to buy scallops with no chemicals (sometimes they add chemicals in, to retain water, it gives scallops chemical taste and too much water to cook them properly)
Unfreeze scallops, drain liquid, save.
The best pan is small cast iron. Heat oil hot, add maximum 4 large scallops and sear one side(do not look, let sear), turn the scallop and add liquid butter on each scallop, let sear on the other side. If scallops dry put some of the saved scallop juice and butter on. Do not add any seasonings. The butter will season the scallops. Put carrot powder (or not) on top and serve.

Carrot powder:

You can make this only if you have juicer and dehydrator. Juice carrots, drink the juice, take carrot pulp and put in dehydrator. Let dry, when dry, put powder in food processor.
If you do not have any of these machines. Do not put carrot powder on scallop, just put a little of butter from pan. Serve creatively.
