Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat a cast iron skillet. Fry the bacon over medium heat; when it’s done, remove, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Chop the bacon, mince the onion, cut carrots into batons, slice the mushrooms and reserve all.
Step 2
Then mince the fresh ginger and shallots. Combine ginger, shallots, vinegar, mirin and orange juice in a food processor and leave it alone for a second.
Step 3
To set up the salad, divide the spinach onto four plates and top with equal amounts of mushrooms and carrots. Begin reheating the bacon fat in the skillet. Ease the warmed-up bacon fat (not too hot) into the food processor; put the skillet back on the burner at high heat. Tumble 1/2 of the chopped bacon into the processor, turn it on and drizzle in olive oil. Salt and pepper scallops, place the scallops into hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes a side. Place scallops on salads, ladle on bacon dressing and sprinkle with red onion and remaining chopped bacon. Serve.
