Sea Scallops with Grain and Saffron

Description

The appetizer is prepared quickly and simply. Season the scallops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallops and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Use the remaining oil if necessary. When the scallops are done, drain the fat remaining in the saucepan. Set the scallops aside. Add sherry to the saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the sherry has reduced by two-thirds. Add chicken broth, butter, saffron, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, add couscous. Cover the saucepan and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add seasonings if necessary. Serve the couscous with the scallops.
