Ingredients:
1 lb. small scallops
4 yellow beets, boiled, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 red beets, boiled, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup mixed chopped garlic, fresh flat-leaf parsley, rosemary, and sage
6 Tbsp. Bertolli® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
3 large cloves garlic
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 475º.
  • Season scallops, if desired, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil in 12-inch skillet over high heat and sear scallops, turning once, or until a golden crust forms, about 4 minutes; set aside.
  • Mix beets, garlic-herb mixture and 2 tablespoons Olive Oil. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons Olive Oil in same skillet over low heat and cook tomatoes, pinch of salt and garlic. Cook until tomatoes and garlic are reduced to a jammy consistency, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To serve, cut scallops in half and stack on top of each other. Arrange 1 slice yellow and red beet on top. Drizzle some tomato jam around the side.
