New York Scallops, King and Oyster Mushrooms

We don’t really really do “30 Minute Meals” around here but often the market
hands you these pristine ingredients that don’t ask for anything more than a
kiss of heat and some Salt and Pepper.

Cut without destroying the integrity of the mushrooms; with the King,
think steak.


Cooking Mushrooms

Sear in butter and season. Cook the king first and set aside while cooking
the oyster. I couldn’t resist deglazing with a little chicken stock during the
last minute of cooking the oyster rather than leaving any mushroomy goodness
stuck to the bottom of the pan; set aside. Wipe out the pan and sear the
scallops in butter or butter with a little oil, I’ve been using extra virgin
unrefined sesame seed oil lately.

  1. Those oyster mushrooms look amazing. I had some local chanterelles recently and really enjoyed them. Those greens look great too. The Thai restaurant right down from my office has introduced me to gai lan. I can't get enough.
