Morello Bistro’s Beet Salad with Hazel­nuts, Ricotta and Scallops

(serves 1, GENEROUSLY!)

1 tbsp but­ter
2 large sea scal­lops
3 tbsps ricotta
2 hand­fuls arugula
2 medium beets, roasted, peeled and diced large
1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

dress­ing:

3 parts olive oil to 1 part bal­samic vine­gar
chopped chives
sea salt and fresh pepper

In a heavy skil­let, melt but­ter till it “stops speak­ing to you,” as Julia Child would say, then lay scal­lops in the but­ter and cook on one side, high heat, for 2 min­utes. Turn and cook for another 1–2 min­utes depend­ing on how you like your scal­lops cooked. Set aside.

On a large plate, arrange dol­lops of ricotta in three spots. Place hand­fuls of ricotta in the cen­ter. Scat­ter beets and hazel­nuts across the greens and driz­zle with dress­ing. Place scal­lops between the ricotta dol­lops. Serve with toasted bread.
