Chimichurri

Credit: Photo: John Autry
If someone asked what the color green tastes like, chimichurri might very well be an answer. The parsley and cilantro create a bright, fresh, and tart sauce with a touch of spicy heat from the red pepper flakes. A classic condiment for meat, it is extremely versatile. Try it with grilled steak, chicken, or fish; roasted lamb; roasted new potatoes, fingerling potatoes, or baby carrots; sandwiches as a dipping sauce; grilled bread; or raw oysters on the half shell.

Seared Sea Scallops with Satsuma, Parsley, and Shallot Salsa

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
Perfectly seared sea scallops start with a hot cast-iron skillet and are finished with a homemade citrus salsa. The star, winter’s satsuma, are one of the sweetest citrus varieties with a meltingly tender texture. Look for satsumas with firm, tight peels, with no hollow-feeling or dented spots; heavier ones are generally juicier.

All parts of the orange—juice, rind, and pulp—flavor the quickly-cooked fish. Substitute brown, basmati, or jasmine rice, if you prefer.
