Pan-seared Scallops
Pan-seared Scallops with Apple and Celery Root Puree, Apple Salad and Apple Chutney
Lizzie: "We don't have beautiful apple orchards in Alaska like the rest of the west does, but we do have crabapples there. My dish has to be savory, so I am doing some scallops, green apple and celery root puree, apple chutney, and the crabapple salad. The scallops are not the star of this dish, and it would be easy for that to become the focus. I definitely feel like I'm pushing myself using a few new ingredients, but I'm excited to see how it turns out."
Lizzie (talking to judges during preparation): "I am doing pan seared scallops with a green apple and celery root puree, honey crisp chutney, and a crab apple salad."
Gordon Ramsay: "So the apple is present three different ways?"
Lizzie: "Yes. I want to make sure the apples are the star and not my scallops."
