Recipe
How to make seared scallops in sage cream:
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Heat the oil and the butter in the skillet.
Add the carrots, celery, and onions to the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low, and sauté the mirepoix for five minutes, until the vegetables turn tender.
Transfer the sautéed mirepoix to a plate and cover it with foil.
Turn up the heat to medium-high.
Season the scallops with salt and black pepper and sauté them in the skillet for 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
Transfer the pan-seared scallops to a plate and cover them with foil.
Sauté the shallots in the skillet for 4 minutes; add 1 teaspoon of butter, if needed.
Add the heavy cream to the shallots and bring the sauce to a boil for 1 minute.
Remove the cream sauce from the heat and stir in the sage leaves.
Drizzle the sage cream on a warm serving plate, spoon a small mound of mirepoix onto the center of the plate, and arrange a few scallops on top of the mirepoix.
