Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds fresh fava bean pods, shelled
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
12 jumbo sea scallops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently shake dish to coat; season with salt and pepper. Transfer tomatoes to oven and roast until heated through and just beginning to split, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add fava beans to boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, peel beans, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined. Add tomatoes, fava beans, and mint; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Rub scallops with remaining tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place scallops, seasoned-side down in skillet; cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn; cook until they are just opaque in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes more. Scallops should not be cooked all the way through.
  • Divide tomato and fava bean salad evenly between 4 plates. Top each salad with 3 scallops; drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette from salad and serve immediately.
