Asparagus with Scallops & Proscuitto

By Anonymous -
I googled scallops and proscuitto and this one popped. Sadly, I've forgotten where it came from. I can tell you this was so good, we ate it all. (including Gaby)

1 lb. asparagus
1 tbsp. Butter
1-oz prosciutto cut into wide strips
1 lb. sea scallops
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
2 tbsp. Dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
Salt & pepper, taste

Cook asparagus in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove asparagus from water and set aside, leaving water simmering on the stove.
In skillet add prosciutto and cook on low heat until crisp. Remove from skillet and set in paper towel to drain. Melt butter to skillet, add scallops to skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on each side, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add lemon zest to skillet and sauté for 10
seconds. Add white wine and chicken broth, simmer, scraping bottom of skillet, for 3 minutes. Return scallops to skillet, to heat through.
Return asparagus to water to heat through. Drain asparagus, place on large platter. Spoon scallops and sauce over asparagus. Top with fried prosciutto.
Serves 4. (or a very hungry family of three)

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
