Scallop Stuffed Pickled Peppers Food

STUFFED SCALLOPED (PATTY PAN) SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a pot of water to a boil; add squash and cook until squash can be easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow squash to cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
• Cut off one end of squash and scoop meat and seeds out of the center, leaving enough meat intact so squash will still maintain its shape. Set the scooped meat aside.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and extra crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving about 1/4 teaspoon bacon grease in the skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the bacon grease over medium heat until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water, beef bouillon, squash meat, and cayenne pepper to onion mixture; cook until liquid is reduced by about 2/3, about 5 minutes.
• Mix Cheddar cheese into broth mixture until cheese is melted completely, 2 to 3 minutes. Add bread crumbs and stir until mixture is the consistency of wet stuffing. Fill squash with stuffing; season with salt and pepper. Place squash in a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until stuffing is crisp, 30 to 45 minutes.

GLAZED SCALLOPS WITH SPINACH AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Core and seed peppers. Slice into 1/2-inch strips.
• In a small bowl, stir cornstarch with soy sauce until cornstarch dissolves. Stir in sugar and sesame oil.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add scallops and stir-fry until golden brown on both sides, from 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add peppers, vinegar, garlic, ginger and chili flakes to pan. Stir-fry until peppers are tender-crisp, from 2 to 3 minutes. Return scallops and any accumulated juice to pan. Stir soy mixture, then pour into pan. Stir constantly until liquid reduces to a glaze, about 1 minute.
• Stir in spinach just until wilted, about 1 minute.

SCALLOP-STUFFED PICKLED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a ceramic or glass bowl combine the scallops with the lime juice and let them marinate, covered and chilled, stirring several times, for at least 4 hours or overnight (The scallops will "cook" in the lime juice.)
• Make a lengthwise slit in each pickled pepper, transfer the peppers slit side down to paper towels, and let them drain for 5 minutes. Drain the scallops, reserving the lime juice and stuff a scallop slice curved side up into each pepper. (The stuffed peppers may be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and kept covered and chilled.) Just before serving brush the scallops with the reserved lime juice and arrange the stuffed peppers decoratively on platters lined with the cabbage.

SCALLOPS AND TRI-COLOR PEPPERS SCHAUL

Steps:

Add the scallops, the basil, and the black pepper to taste and cook the mixture, covered, over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through.
