Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Large Sea Scallops Patted dry
  • 3 Parsnips Peeled and Roughly Chopped
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • Salt To Taste
  • Pepper To Taste

Instructions
 

  • Start your dance by placing the chopped parsnips in a saucepan. Cover them with the milk and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer until the parsnips are soft, a gentle caress like a lover's touch.
  • While your parsnips are dancing in the simmering milk, sprinkle your scallops with salt and pepper. Remember, every grain is a love note from the sea.
  • Heat the butter in your skillet until it bubbles like soft laughter. Add the scallops and sear them until they are golden, about 2 minutes per side. The scent will be intoxicating, like a shared secret whispered just for you.
  • Once the parsnips are tender, pour them into your blender, saving the milk. Blend them until they form a puree as smooth as a stolen kiss.
  • If the puree is too thick, add a bit of the saved milk. Season it with a touch more salt and pepper, and a dash of love.
  • To serve, spoon the parsnip puree onto your plates. Place the scallops on top and share a knowing glance. Bon appétit, my dear lovers.
