Pan-seared Scallops
This post is a little delayed by the good weather in Charleston, SC. We are vacationing with friends and family and are enjoying some of the wonderful local seafood. We were debating what to serve with the scallops when, while playing tourist, we picked up magazine and there in the enter of the magazine was a picture of scallops served on an asparagus bed. We decided to add some garlic mashed potatoes to the mix and had a wonderful dinner. The non-fish eaters in the group enjoyed a hardy serving of Coq au Vin.
We finished the night with a Corn Meal Cake with dried cranberries. Always good.
