Sea Scallops

Spring Asparagus

Rhubarb Mostarda

Parsnip Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rhubarb Mostarda

    In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, white wine vinegar, mustard seeds, and salt. Simmer over medium heat until rhubarb is soft and mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Quinoa Salad

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it cool. In a bowl, mix cooked quinoa with chopped cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Spring Asparagus

    Trim asparagus ends and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes or until tender.

  4. 4

    Parsnip Chips

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice parsnips, toss with olive oil and salt, and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy.

Cooking Sea Scallops

  1. 5

    Searing Sea Scallops

    Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with quinoa salad, asparagus, rhubarb mostarda, and parsnip chips.
