Dinner tonight and Wegman's does not carry frozen OJ
We make a trip to Wegman's every couple of months. The nearest store is
30+ miles so we don't go as often as I'd like. Among other things, they
had some really good looking sea scallops so I bought some.
For dinner, I wanted to make the scallops with an orange butter sauce.
To make it, I use a few tablespoons of frozen OJ concentrate so I wanted
to pick up a can. Turns out, Wegmans does not carry frozen OJ. While I
commend their good taste, using the concentrate for the sauce is much
easier than reducing the regular stuff.
In a large pan put in at least 3 to 4TBS of butter. Heat and add the
scallops. Sear on one side and turn them over. Add a clove of garlic,
chopped. When seared on the other side and cooked through, remove the
scallops to the plates
Mix in about 3 TBS of the frozen OJ, add a glug of either white wine or
orange liquor. Stir and reduce a bit to the consistency you want. Pour
over the scallops.
We had a salad and warm sourdough bread to dip in the sauce.
I made a sangria from sauvagnon blanc and added lemon, orange,
strawberries, blueberries. I made it hours ahead.
Dessert was the fruit from the pitcher of sangria.
Damn, it was good.
