SCALLOPS WITH CITRUS AND QUINOA
Steps:
- Combine the quinoa, 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the water is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate 1 teaspoon orange zest, then juice all 3 oranges and the tangerines into a bowl. Sprinkle the sugar in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until dark amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vinegar, citrus juices and zest, and the coriander. Return to medium heat and boil until thick, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter; keep warm.
- Season the scallops on one side with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallops seasoned-side down and sear until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and divide among plates. Top with the scallops, drizzle with the citrus sauce and sprinkle with the parsley.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it didn't turn out well for me. The scallops were undercooked and the citrus-quinoa was too salty. I'm going to try it again with some modifications.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were overcooked and rubbery, and the citrus-quinoa was dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning, especially in the citrus-quinoa. The scallops were cooked well, but they could have used a bit more flavor as well.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The scallops were cooked well, but I would have liked them to be a bit more browned.
