Broiled Scallops with Sweet Lime Sauce Recipe

Broiled scallopsBroiled Scallops

Rather than creating a fatty lime sauce, this modified recipe coats the scallops in honey and lime juice and gently broils them.

Serves 4

Recipe Ingredients

4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1 pound bay or sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Recipe Directions

Preheat the broiler. Position the rack 4 inches from the heat source. Cover a broiler pan or cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and oil. Add the scallops and toss gently to coat with the honey mixture.

Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan or baking sheet. Broil until opaque throughout when tested with a tip of a knife, about 5 minutes. Turn the scallops over and broil for another minute.

Divide the scallops onto 4 warmed plates. Pour any juices from the broiler pan or baking sheet over the scallops. Sprinkle with grated lime peel and serve with a lime wedge.

Beef Stew with Fennel and Shallots Recipe

Beef StewBeef Stew

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
1 pound boneless lean beef stew meat, trimmed of visible fat and cut into 1
1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
1/2 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced vertically
3 large shallots, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 fresh thyme sprigssprigs
1 bay leaf
3 cups vegetable stock or broth
1/2 cup red wine, optional
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 large red-skinned or white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
18 small boiling onions, about 10 ounces total weight, halved crosswise
3 portobello mushrooms, brushed clean and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley

Recipe Directions

Place the flour on a plate. Dredge the beef cubes in the flour. In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the fennel and shallots to the pan over medium heat and saute until softened and lightly golden, 7 to 8 minutes.


Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, the thyme sprigs and the bay leaf. Saute for 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan and add the vegetable stock and the wine, if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

Add the carrots, potatoes, onions and mushrooms. The liquid will not cover the vegetables completely, but more liquid will accumulate as the mushrooms soften. Simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Ladle into warmed individual bowls and serve immediately.
