Braised scallops with grapefruit and walnuts

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Pink grapefruit
1 pounds Sea scallops
½ cup Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Walnut or olive oil
½ cup Walnuts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Minced chives or green onion for garnish

Directions

Peel, seed and section one of the grapefruits. Squeeze the juice from the second grapefruit.

Lightly coat the scallops in seasoned flour, patting to remove the excess. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet. When the oil is very hot, add the scallops and cook over medium heat until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the scallops to a pan and set aside.

Add the grapefruit juice to the skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in the walnuts, then add the scallops and grapefruit sections to the pan and simmer gently until the scallops are cooked to taste, 2-3 minutes. Arrange on individual plates, sprinkle with chives and serve.
