Ingredients

2	each	spinach	fresh
2	tablespoons	orange juice
1	teaspoon	dijon mustard	freshly ground
1	x	black pepper	to taste
2	tablespoons	olive oil
2	tablespoons	chives	chopped
1	x	salt	to taste
1 1/2	pounds	sea scallops
2	teaspoons	orange zest	finely grated

Directions

Remove tough stems from spinach, rinse well.

Soak and clean thoroughly.

Shake off water and put in a pot with lid.

In a small bowl, combine orange juice, mustard and pepper.

Whisk well.

Slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil, whisking well. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives; season with salt.

Set dressing aside.

Place the pure olive oil in a large non-stick skillet.

Over medium heat, add half the scallops.

Cook 4 to 5 min, or until they are opaque and lightly golden, shaking the pan and turning scallops once.

Proceed with the second batch.

Keep warm.

While scallops are cooking, wilt the spinach over medium heat about 3 min, covered, stirring once.

When scallops are finished, drain the spinach well and set in the center of a large serving plate.

Pull spinach apart a bit with 2 forks so it comes close to the rim.

Center scallops attractively atop the spinach.

Pour the orange dressing over all and garnish with remaining chives and the orange zest.

Serve immediately.

Sweet Hot Mustard

This is a great recipe for those that like HOT foods. Try using honey in place of the sugar. It makes a smoother texture and a slightly different taste, a taste that we decided we liked better after trying it both ways. We serve it with pepperoni, crackers and a white cheese.
