Orange
Scented Seared Scallops
By Maralyn Hill and Brenda Hill ‘The Tandem Tasters’
The Hill Team is on the move again--this time we're
in the charming town of Temecula, CA and staying at
the Temecula Creek Inn. We had dinner tonight at the
Temet Grill Restaurant overlooking the gold course
with the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains in the
background and many golfers still enjoying the
course. After tasting Executive Chef Salvatore
Giuliano's scallops appetizer, he was willing to
share a summertime favorite, Orange Scented Seared
Scallops and Wheat Berry Salad. His lunch treat
sounds like a dinner to us. We'll blog more of the
talented Chef Salvatore and the lovely golf resort.
But, for now, enjoy our "Recipe of the Day"
compliments of the chef.

cups of Cooked Red Wheat Berries
Start with 2 cups of dry red wheat berries, Soak in
2 quarts of water for 4 hours.

Scallop, ie: 10 Scallops per pound)

Salt and pepper to taste
Toss scallops, orange zest into olive oil
In
a 10” sautéed pan sear 4 scallops at a time until
golden brown on each side in 2 Tbsp. of olive oil
over medium high heat. (Don’t sear them all at once
because you’ll over crowd the pan and the scallops
will create too much steam).
