DIRECTIONS
- BLACK BEAN PUREE: Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook beans for 15 to 20 minutes and then drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Add drained beans to a blender and add enough hot cooking liquid to just cover the beans and begin to purée. Add enough liquid while puréeing to make a smooth spoonable spread (this purée should be thinner than a hummus, but not as thin as sauce consistency).
- TARRAGON-ORANGE VINAIGRETTE: Combine shallots, orange juice, zest, vinegar, mustard, honey and tarragon in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add the olive oil into the mixture until completely emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- TO ASSEMBLE ONE PLATE: Season scallops with salt and pepper and sear in a pan until caramelized and cooked through.
- Spread bean purée across the plate and place the scallops in a row on top of the purée. Spoon the vinaigrette around the scallops and garnish with orange segments and micro greens.
