Alaska weathervane scallops are one of the tricks of this meal. It is the best meal I have ever made and so simple. I made it in November, 2015. About to do it again, I think. Vital Seafoods to order the Alaska Weathervane Scallops. See the post at my Facebook page, Da Giogio, the other place that I show that I am a bit of a foodie.
The originator of the recipe with better pictures than mine. I skipped the hazelnuts, though we know that Whatcom County is a treasure for hazelnuts!
Apparently she was doing a combo variation from 2 recipes by Barbara Lynch in Stir: Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition.
