Mock Scallops with Sesame Chili Dressing what are the ‘scallops’ resting on? the chilly is toooo strong
loved the heats of palm. the sauce too strong. Didnt know how to plate it
The mock scallops are resting on a type of organically grown beet called “candy striped beet”.
In the picture, he platted it on top of a beet. Maybe you can add it to a salad. or you can plate in on a cracker or a chip and serve as an appetizer. You could also try sautees polenta rounds and serving it on that with some guacamole on top. You can have fun with it and serve it however you’d like!
