Chef Mario Batali’s savory grilled sea scallops alla caprese

Sea scallops alla caprese
Mario Batali
Serves 6

Scoring the scallops before grilling makes them open up like a flower, and the contrast between the golden brown surface and white interior is striking. The trick here is to cook the scallops 90 percent on the first side, until very well seared, then just give them a quick finish on the other side.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds mixed great heirloom tomatoes
• 24 fresh basil leaves
• 3 medium red onions, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 5 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 12 giant diver scallops (about 2 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons Maldon salt or other coarse sea salt
• 1 lemon, cut in half

DIRECTIONS

Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Place a piastra on the grill to preheat.

Slice the tomatoes creatively (leave very small ones whole, or halve them) and lay out on a platter. Tear the basil leaves over the tomatoes, strewing them about. Set aside.

Season the onion slices on both sides with salt and pepper. Place them on the hot dry piastra and cook, unmoved, for 7 to 10 minutes, until well charred on the first side. Using tongs, carefully turn the slices over and cook for 7 to 10 minutes on the second side, until well charred and softened. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly, then separate the onion slices into smaller rings and scatter them over the tomatoes. Drizzle the whole mess with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the olive oil.

While the onions cook, carve a checkerboard pattern about 1/4 inch deep into one side of each scallop. Season them all over with salt and pepper, toss them in a bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and stir gently to coat.

Place the scallops on the dry clean piastra, design side down, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, unmoved, until almost cooked (they should be opaque almost all the way through). Flip them over and sear for just 30 seconds, then remove and arrange on the tomato salad.

Sprinkle the tomatoes with the Maldon salt, squeeze the lemon halves over the scallops and tomatoes, and serve.

Sicilian Caponata with Seared Tuna Steak with Chef Matteo Carboni

Chef Matteo Carboni from the Academia Barilla Culinary School shows us in this video recipe how to make a Sicilian dish, Caponata, which he pairs with a seared tuna steak.

Caponata is a Southern Italian traditional recipe, a typical side dish in Sicilian cuisine. The main ingredients are eggplants, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, cooked with mint, garlic, capers, pine nuts, white vinegar, pistachios, dried sultanas, sugar and vinegar.

In a frying pan Chef Carboni pours a little bit of extra virgin olive oil, and sautes the red onion first, then red pepper, and at last, the zucchini.

After a 3 or 4 minutes minutes we can add the other ingredients: capers, sultanas, pine nuts, sugar, white vinegar, pistachios, and the deep fried eggplant. Once the Caponata is ready, Chef Carboni puts it at rest in a warm place, and moves on to the Tuna steak.

The tuna steak should be at least 1 inch thick to be correctly seared, advices Chef Carboni.
In a frying pan Chef Carboni puts some Italian extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic (to be removed later) and sears the tuna steak with 1 minute cooking time per side approx. When the tuna steak is seared, it can be served as a whole steak, or cut into slices, as in Chef Carboni’s serving suggestion.
Chef Matteo Carboni suggests to use a tin stamp to serve the caponata on the side of the dish, while serving the sliced seared tuna steak on the other side, not before giving a final touch with extra virgin olive oil, natural sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. As a final presentation touch, Chef Matteo adds deep fried basil leaves. Yum.
