5-4 Scallops

5-4 Scallops

I found this recipe in a Francis Mallmann cookbook and loved it! It’s amazing how so few ingredients can bring out so much flavor. But why the name? Originally, when I cooked this dish I started with five scallops, but as I set up for the photo, turning my back for just a second, a seagull swooped in leaving me with four. Damn bird!
