How about roasting the squash, instead of sauting it? that would add another dimension to the flavor.
Try this scallop dish -
Basil Stuffed Jumbo Scallops
Serves 6
6 U-10 scallops, clean, sweet smelling, muscle removed on the side
6 thin slices of fresh plump red tomato
3 tsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
2-3 tsp grated parmesean
Olive oil
Kosher or sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
Favorite hard crusted bread if desired…
Take the scallops, insert a knife in the side, and make a pocket.
Combine basil, a glob of olive oil, and parmesan. Stuff the scallop with about ½ tsp, and a slice of tomato. Season with salt, pepper and a couple drops of olive oil.
In a hot pan, sear scallops until the tops and bottoms are golden, and the scallop is firm, but tender. A couple minutes should do it, but make sure not to over cook it, as the scallop should be opaque, creamy looking, with a firm, and tender texture. Drizzle a little of the pan juices on your stuffed scallop, and enjoy!
Two Halibut dishes to consider:
Grilled halibut with an avocado tomato cilantro salsa,
OR and this one is super cool -
Halibut that is stuffed with a wilted chard, fresh salmon mixture.
I just made these up, so I don't have a recipe set in stone yet, but if it sounds good, drop me an email and I can put something together for you.
what about mincing everything up, then making a paste out of it, incorporating it with the tomoato paste?
