Very simple entree (sure to impress) Ingredients: chorizo sausage (cut into 1 inch lengths) scallops (out of shells and trimmed) lemon parsley (a bunch, roughly chopped) Method: 1. dry fry the chorizo rounds in a pan over medium - high heat (ie, no oil). The oil from the chorizo will come out and coat the pan. Be sure to cook both sides of the chorizo, then remove from pan and set aside. 2. Put the scallops into the pan and cook. The oil that came out of the chorizo will prevent them from sticking to the pan. DO NOT overcook the scallop (ie, about a minute each side - possibly less) 3. Return chorizo to the pan, squeeze in the juice from a lemon, mix through the parsley. Then put it all on a platter to serve. For mega bonus points, get some of the scallop shells and serve the chorizo round on the shell with a scallop on top and a smattering of parsley leaves over the top. So good, so easy.
Simple Baked Chicken and Bacon Boneless chicken breasts seasoned to taste (I use a cajun spice like Tony's but sometimes I mix it up with garlic and herb or something like that) Cover fully with thick cut bacon Bake @ 400 for 30-40 mins depending on how big the chicken breasts are. Bacon will be done at same time as chicken and serves to keep chicken moist. (Asian Variation) Season chicken with Ginger and All Spice. Last 5-10 mins of cook time brush with mixture of honey and sriracha. Yields a sticky sweet, spicy chicken and bacon.
