Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill or broiler.

  2. Step 2

    Bring stock to boil in a saucepan; whisk in butter bit by bit.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms and thyme and reduce stock by half.

  4. Step 4

    Add greens and simmer until greens are wilted.

  5. Step 5

    Season scallops with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Grill or broil just until done, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on size of scallops.

  6. Step 6

    Remove greens and mushrooms from stock and arrange on four salad-size plates and keep warm. Consistency of stock will depend on how much water the greens gave off. For a lightly thickened stock, you may need to reduce the mixture more.

  7. Step 7

    Arrange scallops on greens, slicing large scallops, and finish with thickened stock.
