APPLE SWEET POTATO SCALLOP
This is the perfect side dish on a chilly Autumn evening. The apples give it just the right amount of sweetness, and it smells heavenly cooking. I actually cooked this in a smaller oval casserole dish and used 2 sweet potatoes and 3 apples, so obviously the amounts are very flexible. Just reduce the other ingredients and make sure you use enough OJ so that it covers about 2/3 of the sweet potatoes and apples. Yum! I got this wonderful recipe from my friend Shell Marr.

Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the sweet potatoes and apples.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the scallops. If you do, they will steam instead of sear.
- Season the scallops liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Serve the scallops immediately with the sweet potato and apple hash.
