SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SPICY CARROT COULIS
A coulis, pronounced koo-LEE, is a thin, pourable sauce, often made from tomatoes for savory dishes, or from berries for desserts. This brilliant orange sauce gets a splash of vinegar for a hit of acidity and a pinch of cayenne for heat, a perfect foil for the scallops' sweetness. For the best flavor, use young bunch carrots, not large "horse carrots." This is a very easy dish if the sauce is prepared in advance. (Make the sauce up to a day ahead. If made in advance, reheat to serve.) Then it's just a matter of searing the scallops and assembling the plates.

Steps:
- Make the coulis: Put carrots, garlic, onion, vinegar, cayenne, salt, honey and broth in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until carrots are very soft, about 15 minutes. Purée all ingredients thoroughly in a blender and strain if necessary - it should be very smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Coulis should not be too thick, but rather similar to a thin milkshake. Keep warm if not made ahead.
- Prepare the scallops: Set 2 wide cast-iron skillets or a large griddle over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, film with olive oil. As oil heats and just before cooking, season scallops with salt and pepper on both sides. When oil is wavy, place scallops in pan without crowding. Leave scallops undisturbed to brown well and crisp on one side, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until cooked through, but juicy. Place scallops browned side up on paper towels to blot bottoms.
- To serve, ladle about 1/4 cup warm coulis onto individual warmed dinner plates. Set scallops on top, browned side up. Sprinkle with cilantro, chives and sliced chiles. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add carrot, onion, celery, and leek. Cook, until the vegetables are soft but not brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the sachet, and enough chicken stock to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer, cooking until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
- Working in batches no larger than 2 cups, puree vegetables in a blender until very smooth. Let stand until cool. Measure 1/2 cup, and add carrot juice. Season with lime juice, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Reserve remaining puree for another use.
PAPRIKA SEARED SALMON WITH CARROT-GINGER PUREE AND RED PEPPER COULIS
Steps:
- To make the ginger-carrot puree: In a small saucepot, combine the carrots, ginger, stock, and season with salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook until carrots are soft. Strain the mixture, reserving the liquid. Puree the carrots in a blender using orange juice and cooking liquid to correct or adjust the consistency. Season the mixture with orange zest, salt, and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make the red pepper coulis: In a medium saute pan, heat the oil and begin to sweat the onions, add the red peppers, and cook until softened. Add the wine and simmer to reduce until dry. Add the stock and cook until the mixture is reduced by half. Strain, reserving liquid. Puree the peppers and add the liquid bit by bit to create a smooth puree. Season the coulis with salt, and pepper, to taste. Mix in the chopped parsley, and set aside.
- To make the salmon: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let heat. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and paprika and sear until almost cooked through, about 7 minutes. Turn over the fillets and cook them 2 minutes more.
- To serve the salmon, cover each plate with 1/2 of the ginger-carrot puree and 1/2 of the red pepper coulis and top with a salmon filet. Serve with Asparagus, Fennel, and Corn Saute.
- Heat a medium saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the butter and let slightly brown. Add the asparagus, corn, and fennel, and toss to heat through. Taste, and then season with salt, and pepper, if necessary.
BERRY COULIS
This is a flexible recipe for a classic berry coulis: use just one type of berry or a combination. Passing the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer produces a smooth, glossy sauce, but you can skip the step if you prefer something more rustic. The coulis will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days and also freezes well. Serve over ice cream, cheesecake, pound cake or other plain cakes.

Steps:
- Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to give off their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering rapidly and cook until the berries have broken down, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the sauce as possible. Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature.

ROASTED CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER CURRIED SOUP
This restaurant-quality soup is hearty and very tasty! I didn't have onions at home when I made this. Although the soup turned out really flavorful without them, I will probably add an onion or two next time I make it. Garnish with basil, wonton noodles, and sour cream.

- In a medium saucepan, place carrots, water, butter, and salt. Cook over high heat just until it starts to boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and continue to cook until the carrots are tender and soft - about 20 minutes. Make sure to cover the carrots because we don’t want all the water to evaporate. Remember, there’s butter and salt in the water and that is flavor.
- Once the carrots are soft and tender enough that you can mash with a fork, transfer them to a blender with a slotted spoon. There should be at least 3/4 cup of liquid left in the pan. Start with adding 1/2 cup of that to the blender along with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
- Blend until smooth. If you need more liquid to get it going, add the remaining cooking liquid. Taste and season with salt. Add more lemon juice to your taste. You'll find a difference in acidity between bottled lemon juice and fresh lemon.
