Truffled Bay Scallops with Celery Purée

Ingredients for Truffled Bay Scallops with Celery Purée

• 240ml chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth

• 350ml thinly sliced celery (about 3 ribs)

• 80g chopped peeled potato

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

• 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley sprigs

• 450g bay scallops (preferably Nantucket Bay), tough ligament removed from side of each if attached

• 1 cucharada de aceite vegetal

• 3 tablespoons black truffle butter, softened

• Garnish: chopped celery leaves

Simmer broth, celery, potato, onion, and 1/4 teaspoons salt in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add parsley and cook, uncovered, 1 minute. Purée mixture in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Keep warm in saucepan.

Pat scallops dry and season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté scallops until barley cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add truffle butter and stir until melted, then transfer scallops with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Stir celery purée into truffle butter in skillet. Spoon onto plates, then mound scallops in centre and sprinkle with celery leaves.

Purée (without truffle butter) can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat in a microwave or in a saucepan over low heat before stirring into truffle butter.
