Bono Bono: Butter-Seared Scallops

20201214, If you're looking for something, you can't afford to lose your way — get confused even once, and you may never find it again. But it's okay to get confused, too, because something else will turn up. #BonoBono Year-end, so many things left to wrap up. Which makes for an especially heavy Monday. On top of that, daily confirmed cases have topped a thousand, and Level 3 social distancing looms. But like Bono Bono says, 'something else will turn up.' As thanks to Bono Bono for the comfort and small wisdom he's given me, I offer him a breakfast of his favorite item — the razor clam (scallop) he's always clutching. Or wait, was that actually a scallop? Ha. -Score the scallops, season lightly with salt and pepper (skipping the mirin, since I'm out), and let sit briefly. -Melt butter in a pan and sear the scallops on low heat, briefly on each side, along with the world's prettiest green beans, and mushrooms and garlic if you like. -Plate and grate parmigiano over the top. In an instant, the breakfast's whole standing shoots up.
