Recipe - Scallop And Orange Salad

1 Navel orange
1 pound Bay or sea scallops
1 1/3 cup Orange juice

DRESSING
One fourth cup Dry sherry or white wine
vinegar
One half cup Olive oil
One half teaspoon Salt
Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Minced coriander leaves or
parsley
1/3 cup Thinly cut or sliced up green onions
1 Mediumsized red bell
pepper; cut into 1/8 inch
julienne strips
2 tablespoon Thinly slivered ginger
1 Clove garlic; minced
1 tablespoon Honey

Prepare the orange. Use a swivel bladed peeler and remove peel in long
strips. Cut into very thin strips. Cover with cold water and set aside.
Working overa large bowl, section the orange, removing as much of the
membrane as possible. Reserve the orange sections, measure the juice, and
add more as needed to measure 11/3 cups. Poach the scallops and cut
scallops into wedge shaped sections. Rinse and pat dry. Place in a
saucepan, add orange juice, cover, and bring to boil over moderate heat for
30 to 60 seconds. Do not overcook. Remove with slotted spoon. Set aside.
Prepare the dressing. In a mediumsized bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil,
salt, pepper and coriander. Chop One half the orange peels, One half the green onions
and all the red pepper. Return to orange mixture. Add to the orange mixture
that scallops were poached in, the ginger, garlic and honey. Bring to a
boil over high heat, lower heat and cook until mixture is reduced to 1 cup.
Let cool. Add scallops to dressing mixture and marinate 1 hour. To assemble
salad, mound the scallop mixture in the center of a chilled plate. Dip
orange sections into orange mixture and use these to garnish the salad
mixture. Across the top add more orange peel strips and other half of
cut or sliced up green onions. Yield: 4 servings.
