Scallions With Mustard Sauce Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SCALLION SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• For the tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Dry the tenderloin well with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet followed by the tenderloin. Cook, turning every 4 minutes, until the tenderloin is an even, deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reads 120 degrees F, or about 30 minutes for medium-rare . Remove to a platter to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the scallions with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Place on the hot grill and cook until wilted and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. (Place a pan lid on top of the scallions if they are not browning enough.) Remove the charred scallions to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add the charred scallions to a bowl along with the mustard, vinegar, remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.
• Sprinkle the tenderloin with flake salt and serve with the scallion sauce.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken breast under plastic wrap and flatten using mallet, rolling pin, or a glass bottle. Season breasts with salt and pepper. In heated skillet add olive oil and butter. Add chicken and cook over a medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Add scallions and garlic to same skillet. Saute quickly and add white wine. Boil rapidly and reduce to syrup. Add cream and mustard, stir. Return chicken breast to pan and simmer gently until just heated through.

CARAMELIZED-SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• In a tall-sided saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
• Trim the roots from 2/3 of the scallions, and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Pulse the scallions in a food processor until finely minced. (You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice.) Add 3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and pulse until wet and puréed. Carefully add the purée to the oil (the oil should be warm, not hot, but be careful of splatters).
• Raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring, until it reaches a boil. Turn the heat down to maintain a mellow but insistent sizzle. Cook, stirring every few minutes to make sure the bottom and sides aren't sticking and browning, until the purée is army green, just starting to take on brownish tones, and goes from thick and clumpy to very liquid in the pot, around 35 minutes. In truth, it's ugly. (You can cook it further to get a more browned, caramelized flavor if you like, but don't let it get dark.)
• Meanwhile, trim the roots off the remaining scallions, and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Pulse them in the food processor until they are finely minced but not puréed. Remove the scallions to a bowl and stir in another 3/4 to 1 teaspoon salt. When the purée in the pot is ready, carefully stir in the minced scallions, and turn the heat up to high. Bring it back to a boil, stirring, and then remove the sauce to a heatproof bowl to cool to room temperature. When it has cooled, taste, and add more salt if desired.
• Store in a jar, topping it with a little oil if necessary to keep everything submerged. The sauce keeps, refrigerated and under oil, for a couple of weeks.

SCALLIONS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Saute celery and carrot until lightly browned, and soft, about 15 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, thyme, and bay leaf.
• Simmer all, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Add scallions and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes--do not overcook.
• Remove scallions with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Strain the liquid in a fine sieve, discard the solids, and return 1/2 cup of liquid to the skillet.
• Stir in cream and mustard and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to about one third, about 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and return the scallions to the skillet long enough to heat them through, about 1 minute.
• Serve immediately.

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON WITH CHIVES AND SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes using the large holes of the grater.
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season the fish lightly with salt and white pepper. Generously spread one side of each fillet or steak with the mustard (for fillets, spread mustard on the rounded side, not the skin side). Cover the mustard with enough grated potatoes to coat entirely. Cover the fish with plastic wrap and press the grated potatoes down onto the fish very firmly and tightly. Remove the wrap and season the potatoes with salt and white pepper.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In an ovenproof, nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil. When hot, place the fish very gently in the pan, with crust side down, using a large spatula to avoid breaking the crust. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown. Flip the fish carefully to the other side and finish cooking in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the center of fillet is opaque in color.

• Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 10-to 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops 1 to 2 minutes on each side (depending on size), or until golden and just cooked through. Transfer scallops with tongs to a plate and keep warm, covered loosely.
• In oil remaining in skillet cook shallot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add wine and boil, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in water and mustard and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add butter and swirl skillet, returning skillet to heat as necessary, until butter is just incorporated into sauce. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

KIELBASA WITH MUSTARD DIP

Steps:

• Slice the kielbasa crosswise 1/2 inch thick diagonally. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan, add the kielbasa, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kielbasa is nicely browned on both sides.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, horseradish, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve the kielbasa hot from the pan with small wooden skewers and a dish of the mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS WITH WITH LEMON-MUSTARD SAUCE

BAKED MACKEREL IN MUSTARD-SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Score the mackerel on both sides, making two or three large X's one-half-inch deep with a small sharp knife. Squeeze the half lemon over the fish.
• Combine and stir the remaining ingredients. Coat the mackerel with this mixture and allow to marinate one-half hour. Turn once during the marinating so the cuts in the fish are well coated with the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place mackerel in a small buttered oval baking dish and bake until the fish is opaque. Serve at once.

CRAB CAKES WITH GRAINY MUSTARD AND SCALLION SAUCES

Steps:

Using a 3-ounce ice cream scoop, form mixture into 8 equal-size balls. Lightly dredge in Corn Flakes, transfer to a baking sheet, and drizzle with butter. Bake until heated through, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with mustard and scallion sauces.

SOY, GINGER AND MUSTARD COATED BLUEFISH WITH GRILLED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill. Combine the mustard, soy sauce and ginger and rub the mixture over the flesh side of the bluefish. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place the fish on the grill, flesh side down. Grill for 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and grill until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, place the scallions on the grill and grill until tender, about 10 minutes, turning once. Cut the fish in half lengthwise; cut again crosswise, making roughly equal pieces. Place 1 piece of fish and 3 scallions on each of 4 plates and serve immediately.

HANGER STEAK WITH CHARRED SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Finely grate garlic over warm walnuts and toss with 6 Tbsp. oil.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season steaks with kosher salt and black pepper; sprinkle all over with Aleppo-style pepper. Rub with 2 Tbsp. oil and cook, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130° for medium-rare, 10-12 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board.
• Wipe out skillet and reduce heat to medium. Place scallions and 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet, season with kosher salt, and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and deeply charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; trim and cut into 1" pieces. Add to bowl with walnut mixture along with vinegar, cornichons, capers, mustard, thyme, and sugar and toss to combine; season with kosher salt and black pepper.
