Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the beets in a pan and roast in the oven until very soft, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut beets into 1-inch long batonets, or a thick julienne.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the marmalade and coconut milk. Cook until reduced by half, it should be thick enough to coat a spoon. Finish the sauce by whisking in the butter, salt, and cayenne pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. In a saute pan, over high heat, add the olive oil, garlic, and thyme and heat. Add the scallops to the oil and pan sear until golden brown on both sides.
  5. Place the beets on a plate and place 4 scallops on top. Cover the scallops with a thin, even layer of the sauce.
