Citrus Orange & Mint Scallops.

Fresh squeezed OJ, olive oil and fresh mint from my herb garden.

I was leery about the mint with scallops. It was really awesome tho'. Very unique, and gave a light summery flavor to these fresh Maine sea scallops. I added a touch of garlic and onion powder to recipe. I found the recipe online this afternoon looking for something different to make with scallops over the usual lemon butter garlic I use for them.

You marinate the diced tomatoes in the citrus sauce and then pour on the scallops. I broiled and basted them in the sauce. With the leftover I poured on top before serving.

Calls for putting to tomatoes and scallops over orzo, but I did it with quinoa. I wanted another veggie so I added some organic peas to the quinoa.

Served with a garden salad and dry Sauvignon Blanc wine.

Then took a bunch grainy peaches from Costco which were disappointing and I cooked them up in some stevia sweetener, leftover orange juice, some lemon juice with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Served with some cream and had that with a sweet rosé wine. No pic of peaches. Simply forgot.
