Project Description
Recipe Ingredients:
2 strips bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 shallot minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups of pre-washed packaged mixed greens, (spinach, kale and swiss chard) you can use just spinach or kale, whatever you like.
1 lb. large sea scallops
Salt and black pepper
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
Using a frying pan over low heat, cook the bacon until it has begun to crisp. Add the shallot and garlic, saute until the shallot is soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the white beans and mixed greens and saute until the beans are hot and the greens are slightly wilted. Keep warm.
Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Blot the scallops with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the butter and olive oil to pan, then the scallops.
Sear the scallops for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until deeply caramelized.
Before serving add the lemon juice to the beans. Plate the beans and add the scallops on top.
