Ingredients:

2.0 pound scallops, sea Dry only
4.0 ear Corn
0.5 pound fregola
0.25 cup Wine, White
4.0 cup Stock, Chicken
0.25 cup Cream, Heavy
2.0 tablespoon Tarragon fresh, minced

Instructions:

Preheat pan. Season scallops. Saute scallops in some butter and oil. Set scallops aside in a warm place.

Cut the corn off the cob. Mince any scallop trimmings and broken pieces. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. When almost evaporated, add the minced scallops and the corn.

Add some chicken stock about a half cup at a time.

Stir until most of the stock is absorbed (this is like a risotto). Then add some more stock and continue till pasta reaches desired degree of tenderness. If you use all the stock, you can add water. Adjust seasonings.

When the pasta is done, stir in the cream, tarragon, and juices that accumulated around the scallops.

Place some of the pasta corn mixture on the plate, and then arrange scallops on top.

Ingredients:

60.0 milliliter Oil, Olive
4.0 each Shallots 0r 2 large sliced
2.0 clove Garlic
2.0 pound Mussels cleaned
125.0 gram Wine, White Vermouth
500.0 gram Orzo

250.0 gram Shrimp cleaned and deveined
1.0 each Lemon Juice and zest
50.0 gram Olives, Green chopped
100.0 milliliter Parsley chopped

Instructions:

While a large pan preheats, mince the garlic, slice half the shallots and clean the mussels.

Add half the oil to the preheated pan, followed by the minced garlic and sliced shallots. Saute for about 2 minutes.

Toss in the mussels, and stir for a minute or so over medium high heat. Add the vermouth and cover. Cook, shaking the pan from time to time for a few minutes or till mussels open. Remove the mussels from the heat as they open, reserving all liquid. As mussels cool, remove them from their shells, again reserving the liquid. Strain all the liquid through a fine sieve. You want about two cups. If you're short, supplement with stock.

Add the remaining oil to the TM and process at speed 5. Quarter the remaining shallot and drop the shallot and garlic onto the turning blades and turn TM off. Set heat to 100C and process at speed 1 for 3 minutes.

Install the butterfly. Add the orzo and the reserved mussel broth. Process at 100C speed 2 for about 8 minutes or till most of the liquid is absorbed (see picture).

While orzo cooks, zest the lemon and coarsely chop the zest. Juice half the lemon (we need about 1 tablespoon. If your olives have pits, cut the meat off. Coarsely chop the olives. Mince the parsley.

Add the stock to the orzo. Adjust salt and pepper. Process at 100C for 10 minutes at speed 1. Shorten or lengthen the time to allow for orzo to be just undercooked. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, mussels and shrimp. Process at 100C for 2 minutes, speed 1.

Stir in the parsley and olives. Plate and enjoy.
