K, so I needed a dinner in a flash one night and I had just bought imitation scallops that are made of haddock-cheap and tasted so real. Anyway, this was total comfort food-nice and warm-makes just enough for 1. Ingredients:
75 g scallops |
canola oil cooking spray |
1 teaspoon garlic |
1 tablespoon shallots or 1 tablespoon onion, if you prefer |
2 tablespoons red peppers |
salt and pepper |
1 cup cooked couscous |
2 tablespoons diced tomatoes with juice |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon fresh basil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh |
Directions:
1. Preheat pan to medium heat.
2. Spray with canola oil spray.
3. Season scallops with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Sear the scallops for approximately 2 minutes per side.
5. Remove the scallops from the pan.
6. Put garlic, shallot, and red pepper in pan and sauté for 1-1/2 minutes till browned.
7. Add in couscous and diced tomatoes.
8. Add a bit of water if necessary and cook on low for a while.
9. Right before plating add scallops back in, add parsley and basil and squeeze on the fresh lemon juice.
