Cedar Wrapped Scallops with Cranberries, Oranges and Thyme – Serves 4
You’ll need:
- 8 cedar Grilling Wraps
- 24 scallops
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
- 1 fresh orange, peeled and chopped
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- salt & cracked pepper to taste
Step 1:
Soak the Cedar Wraps in water for 15 minutes. Preheat oven or grill to 200°C.
Step 2:
Gently toss cranberries, orange, thyme, brown sugar and olive oil in a small bowl.
Step 3:
Fill the cedar wraps with cranberry mixture, parallel to the grain of the wood. Top it with the scallops then season with salt and pepper.
Step 4:
Fold edges of the wrap toward each other and secure with twine.
Step 5:
Place wraps on the grill or in the oven and cook for 10 minutes then serve and enjoy. When grilling, have a spray bottle of water handy for flare-ups.
Putting scallops on the grill is the perfect way to enhance their natural sweetness. They are melt-in-the-mouth delicious. This makes them a great match with a light Chardonnay or another sweet white wine such as Riesling or Pinot Gris. If it’s a date or celebration, you can’t go wrong with a nice Prosecco or Champagne.
