Directions
- Add oil to a large frying pan and heat over high until sizzling
- Add scallops one ate a time, flat side down
- Let the scallops cook, over high heat until they are brown and caramelized – a good 3-4 minutes. *You’ll know they are ready to flip over when they release- if they stick, they’re not ready!*
- Flip over and cook for 1 minute on the other side
- Put the pan back over high heat and add broth.
- Deglaze the pan by gently scraping all brown bits off the bottom
- Add Balsamic Mosto Cotto and simmer until liquid is reduced by half
- Place scallops over a portion of Garlic Wilted Spinach or Cauliflower Rice and drizzle with sauce.
- Enjoy! Serves 4.
