so simple and so good. well, if you like scallops, that is. what is it with scallops that people don't like? my sister can't stand them. when the word scallops comes up and she is in ear shot, she without fail will grimace and shiver. i don't get it. i absolutely love them. hearty and soft. and, you don't have to do much to them at all to enhance their flavor. just a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. i think often times scallops aren't cooked correctly. you have to get a non stick pan screaming hot, add some olive oil to the pan and once you have put the scallops in the pan, don't move them around. cook each side for 2 minutes and they are done. i served these with pea puree. one bag of frozen peas, thawed, a handful of fresh mint, juice of one lemon, one glove of garlic, about 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt and pepper. put it all in a food processor to blend. yum. serve this with a salad and you have a great spring meal.
