03For the scallops: Remove the small sinew, which tends to be tough, from each scallop. Rinse the scallops in cool water to remove any sand and dry them thoroughly. In a bowl mix the scallops with the olive oil, salt, thyme and pepper.04At serving time, heat a skillet for about 3 minutes, until very hot. Add the scallops, spreading them to create one layer, and cook them over high heat for about 2 minutes, turning them occasionally so they brown well on all sides. Cover the skillet and set it aside off the heat for about 1 minute so the scallops continue to cook in the residual heat.05Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the sauce ingredients. Divide the broccoli rabe among six plates and arrange the scallops on top, about five per plate. Spoon some sauce over the scallops and serve immediately.
