Scallops wit Coconur

February 20, 2015

A sweet and savory twist on your regular old stir fry! Yep, coconut butter “fried” quinoa with veggies and scallops. Trust me, it’s delicious, gluten free, and nutritious!

1 cup un cooked quinoa (or about 2½ cups cooked quinoa)
• 1 ½ cups vegetable stock
• 1 ½ cup frozen peas and carrot mix (or about ? cup each)
• 1 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon avocado (for quinoa)
• 1 large egg or 2 small eggs
• 1 tbsp tamari sauce
• ½ tbsp coconut oil or coconut butter (I used sweet spreads maple coconut butter for sweetness in place of a sesame oil)
• 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds
• Optional ½ cup onion, chopped
• 6-8 large scallops (we use Sizzlefish)
• 3 tbsp chives or scallions
• Butter or avocado oil for cooking scallops
• Sea salt

irst, make sure to soak or rinse off the starch from your quinoa. Then cook in broth according to instructions. I usually add in a dash of salt and 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil, bring to a boil, them simmer...
