Method
Preparation
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and blanch in salted water for 10 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
- Set aside. Keep the tomatoes in two separate containers for the presentation.
Tomato compote
- Sauté the bay leaf, chopped small onion and peeled seeded tomatoes in olive oil.
- Cook until the water has evaporated to form a dry compote.
Candied Lemon
- Remove the peel from the lemon with a paring knife. Cut into julienne strips and blanch in 5 changes of water.
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil to form a light syrup.
- Add the blanched lemon peel to the syrup. Cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. The strips of peel are cooked once they turn translucent.
Tuna medallions
- Marinate the tuna for 1 hour.
- In a skillet, sear for 20 seconds on each side. Refrigerate until serving time.
Scallop Tian
- Cut the scallops horizontally into 3 equal slices.
- Marinate for 30 minutes. The acidity from the lemon and vinegar will cook the scallops.
Garden Vinaigrette
- Place all the ingredients, in order, into a small bowl.
- Refrigerate.
Presentation
- In the center of a large white plate, make a wreath of zucchini slices. Place a 5 cm (2") ring mold in the center of the wreath.
- Begin assembling the dish as follows: tomato compote; diced yellow tomato, diced orange tomato; press down these layers.
- Gently remove the ring mold. Place the sliced scallops on top, then place the tuna medallions on the side of the plate.
- Add the lemon zest in the center of the medallions and the scallops.
- Using a small spoon, gently sprinkle the vinaigrette around the ingredients.
