Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romesco Sauce

    In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, almonds, garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Cooking the Scallops

  1. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Add scallops to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and opaque. Remove and keep warm.

Sautéing Spinach and Mushrooms

  1. 4

    Cook the Spinach and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Plating

  1. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, place a scoop of romesco sauce, arrange the scallops on top, add a side of roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach, and mushrooms. Crumble smoked feta over the dish before serving.
