My son has gone paleo and while we aren't as strict in our lifestyle eating as he is, we are eating some amazing meals together. Last night I prepared scallops and organically grown veggies. So easy. So tasty. So good.
Roasted Veggies:
-cut up carrots and beets (I used red and yellow beets)
-place in baggie with tbsp olive oil + 1-2 crushed garlic cloves and shake
-dump veggies onto aluminum foil covered cookie tray
-roast at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes (depends on size of veggie pieces)
Asparagus:
-put a few drops olive oil in water for steamer pot
-cut asparagus in 1/2 or 1/3 and steam until al dente
-sprinkle with a few drops of fresh lemon
Scallops:
-fry up 5-6 pieces of nitrate-free bacon / set aside / keep bacon grease in pan
-add 1-2 cloves crushed garlic + dash or 2 of sherry to bacon grease
-place scallops in pan + dash of dried dill on each scallop
-cook until done
-serve on top of cooked bacon pieces
Arrange on serving plate, serve and enjoy!
Tips:
-Entire meal from start to finish about 35-45 minutes. Veggie prep and cooking takes the most time. Start with veggies.
-Cook bacon once veggies in oven but don't start scallops until veggies 3/4 done.
-Don't overcook asparagus. Mushy asparagus is yucky. I cooked it almost at the end of cooking the scallops.
