last weekend i thought i'd have my first experiment with homemade chimichurri style sauce. drizzled over pan fried scallops, this recipe is made up of fresh parsley, basil, garlic and cider vinegar.
i served the scallops with steamed asparagus and sliced of baked sweet potato. softening the sweet potato in the microwave for no more than 5 minutes (how are those things so impossible to cut into?), i sprinkled with sea salt and baked on 180 for a further 20 minutes.
meanwhile, make the sauce by blending a handful of parsley, three basil leaves, a clove of garlic and tablespoon of cider vinegar. if you fancy you could add chilli here too. here i just made one portion for me :)
keep aside for the finishing touches to your dish - though it will be fine in the fridge for a couple of days.
next steam, grill or boil your veg of choice whilst you pan fry your scallops. in a red hot pan with a dash of oil or butter, these will only take 2-3 minutes per side.
serve up and pour over your garlicky parsley sauce!
there you have it. what do you think? do you have any recipes with scallops?
