Prepare an egg sauce: beat the egg yolks with the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt; whisk over a bain-marie, slowly drizzling in the clarified butter until it is thick enough that it clings to a spoon.&nbsp;

Remove the scallops from their shells and wash both the scallops and the shells; sauté the scallops in a pan with a drizzle of oil for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup wine and let evaporate. Remove the scallops from the pan, setting the sauce aside.&nbsp;

Remove the crust from the sesame roll and chop the crust roughly.

Rinse 1 Tbsp. capers and chop them together with 3 anchovy fillets. Arrange the shells on a baking tray and place the cooked scallops inside. Baste with a bit of the cooking sauce, then top with the chopped bread and the chopped capers and anchovies. Top each scallop with 1 Tbsp. egg sauce and broil for 3 minutes. Serve garnished with chervil and sesame seeds.

This Mediterranean bread with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers makes for a deliciously impressive appetizer. 

Olive and Caper Bread

4CUPS pizza or all-purpose flour

5OZ. black olives, pitted

2 1/2OZ. sundried tomatoes

1OZ. Taggiasca olives, pitted

capers

1/4OZ. fresh brewer's yeast

Dissolve the brewer’s yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm water. Pile the flour on a flat work surface. Add the dissolved yeast and salt and knead until uniform. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Set aside to rise for around 1 hour.&nbsp;

Purée the black olives, Taggiasca olives, and sun-dried tomatoes with 1 Tbsp. oil and 2 Tbsp. water until creamy.

Line the bottom of a cake pan (diam. 10", h. 2 1/2") with a circle of parchment of paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thickness of around 1/8" in a square form. Trim the sides and spread the olive-tomato purée over the entire surface. Add the drained capers.

Cut the dough into 8 strips, 2 1/2" wide, the same as the height of the pan, and roll them into pinwheels. Arrange in the pan to form a flower: one pinwheel in the middle and the others around it, with a little space between them. Let rise, covered, for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Brush the top of the pinwheels with a little oil and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Pumpkin Risotto with Capers and Grapefruit

pumpkin

3/4LB. Vialone Nano rice

cheese

1/2C. butter

pink grapefruit

shallot

Dry white wine

Salt

Remove the seeds from the pumpkin, then cut an opening on top of it (so steam can escape while cooking). Place it flesh side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F for about 1 hour. When it's cooked, hollow out the pulp and blend it with a few tablespoons of water to obtain a fairly dense mixture. Fully peel the grapefruit and cut the rind into slices. Then boil the rind for 5-6 minutes and drain. Squeeze the grapefruit and boil the juice for 5 minutes. Then add in the boiled rinds and cook for 5 more minutes. Desalt the capers and coarsely chop them. Clean and chop half of the shallot. Heat the rice dry in a saucepan for 3 minutes with 4 pinches of salt. Add the chopped shallot and a splash of white wine. Let the wine evaporate, then gradually ladle in water as it continues cooking for 10 minutes. Then incorporate the pumpkin mixture and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter and grated cheese. Plate the risotto, topping each with a spoonful of grapefruit and capers. As desired, garnish with caper leaves, fresh grapefruit slices, and ground pepper.
