Scallops are rich in iodine and great for thyroid health. They are the least reactive of all shell fish and remarkably easy to cook. Organic Spinach is listed as 10% reactive food according to Lyn-Genet Recitas' book "the Plan". This healthy recipe is easy to make and delicious!
Simple ingredients:
- 1 bunch of Organic Spinach, washed and drained
- 1 lb. scallops, at room temperature, pat dry with paper towel
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and ground black pepper
- sesame oil
- olive oil
- In a large pot, heat water (enough to cover the spinach) to boil. Place the spinach in the boiling water and cook until spinach just turn soft, but still crunchy (about 1-2 minutes). Drain the hot water and rinse with cold water immediately, so that will stop the cooking process and keep the spinach in pretty green color.
- Drain the extra water out and place spinach in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and and sesame oil. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Mix with a fork or chopstick and place on the bottom of a plate.
- In a saucepan with medium-high heat, saute the scallops and garlic with drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with pinch of salt and ground pepper. Saute until each side turns light brown. about 3-4 minutes. Place on the top of a bed of spinach. Enjoy!
