Scallops, Salsa & Healthy Too!

Posted on Jan 28, 2009 by Neil in cooking | 1 Comment

It’s been a bit of a ‘red meat fest’ lately, so I’ve changed my tune.  Time for seafood to reign supreme, at least for a while.

Using the left over salsa from the chorizo pizza, I decided to spice things up a bit.  So I added in half a chopped chili, diced up the rest of a red pepper, two sliced spring onions as well as the remainder of some chorizo finely chopped.

I have vague memories of chorizo and seafood going well, (did i dream this?), so paired up this salsa with some lovely scallops.

The scallops, of the frozen kind, were panfried in butter till nice and crispy on both sides.  When they were nearly done I added in some white wine, and started to deglaze the pan.

This was all served up on some buckwheat (with some added lime), that I had prepped the previously for some lunch (I shock myself with my organisational skills sometimes).

Then it was a case of adding the sauce to the scallops, and serving with the salsa.  Truely delicious is the verdict.
