Porkchopz - would you mind the recipe for the scallops? I would love to try it ...
Sure! This from a DIY blog called Pink of Perfection:
Scallops with Artichokes, Tomatoes, and White Beans in Parchment
1 pound sea scallops
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, pale green and white parts chopped
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
olive oil
parchment paper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, gently toss artichoke hearts, tomatoes, scallions, and white beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Rise and pat dry your scallops. If they have a hard tab on them, just cut that off.
Cut 8 squares from your parchment paper, about 10-12" long. On four of the parchment squares, mound a bit of the artichoke mixture and top with a few scallops (depending on how large your scallops are they should probably be about 3-4 scallops per person). Place another square of parchment on top and fold the edges up around the package, sealing it as best you can. Place parchment packages on cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes.
