Day 26 - Recipe: Grilled Scallops & Polenta

Polenta is a northern Italian food that is now found in most parts of Italy and in northern Italian restaurants in the United States and Europe. For today's meal we will prepare a delicious variation - grilled polenta. But first a list of ingredients for Grilled Scallops & Polenta:

450 g sea scallops 100 g polenta cornmeal 180 ml skimmed milk 1 medium portobello mushroom 225 g green beans 40 g chopped red onion 16 asparagus spears 5 ml extra-virgin olive oil

Bring 360 ml of water and skim milk to rapid boil. Add salt to taste and slowly add polenta while stirring. Reduce heat. Continue stirring until desired consistency is reached. Pour polenta into lightly greased pan. After polenta has cooled cover and refrigerate. Cut chilled polenta into 4 pieces. Grill on medium-hot fire – about two minutes on each side.

Brush portobello mushroom and asparagus spears with extra-virgin olive oil and place on grill for about 3 minutes on each side. Slice mushroom and mix with steamed green beans and chopped onion. Salt and pepper to taste.

Grill scallops on medium-hot fire. Turn after two minutes or when first side turns opaque. Grill until second side turns opaque – about another 2 minutes. Don’t overcook but test a scallop by cutting to make sure it’s cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4. One serving, the food on the plate below, totals about 380 kcal.

Diet Tip of the Day: "Eat Slowly." This is especially vital when you are trying to lose weight. If you are someone who eats fast, who finishes before everyone else at the table, you are not giving yourself a chance to feel full. While everyone else is still eating, you either sit there and pick, or you have seconds, taking in extra calories you could avoid if you would just slow down.
