Pan Seared Scallops, Edamame & Vegetable Medley, Shaved Asiago, Lemon, Chimichurri, and Edamame Puree

I chose to come up with a dish incorporating two ingredients which were edamame and scallops.

3 mistakes I made when creating this dish:

1. Cooked scallops on medium heat. Cooking the scallops on medium heat caused inconsistent color. Since I was so focused on trying to get a nice color on all the pieces, it caused me to overcook them a tad bit. So cook your scallops on HIGH heat.
2. Placed the vegetable medley underneath the scallops. Incorporating colors creates diversity. I would reposition the vegetables so they are more visible since they help create vibrance and contrast.
3. Not enough texture. Each plate served should have a variety of textures such as soft, hard, chewy, crunchy, creamy, and meaty textures. The edamame with the vegetables already has a soft crunch but the edamame puree had a lot of soft crunch - which didn’t create enough texture balance for the plate overall . I would add some type of fatty content such as heavy cream or avocado with the edamame to create a smoother puree.

✨Drop in the comments which two ingredients should I incorporate and cook with next time. ✨

Hello everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Danielle but everyone calls me Danny. Chow 108 was created because I’ve built my fondest memories around food. Food has been a staple for countless family and friend gatherings. From putting sweet peas underneath my plate so I wouldn’t have to eat them to putting a slice of bread directly on the stove top to make toast, food has given me a long life of laughter. My grandparents cooked delicious food for any occasion, and that’s where my love for cooking began - in their kitchen. With Chow 108, I want to give you what was given to me: food that assembled bonds, laughter, and memories.

- Chef Danny

Benefits of cooking with wine …

1. It can be used for marinades because of the acid which helps break down the protein you’re cooking.

2. It can be used as a sauce (red wine reduction).

3. It will also enhance the flavor of your dish!
