Butter Basted Seared Scallops - The Perfect Sear

Playing in the Kitchen with Chef Eric - the scallops cook up quickly and make such a great healthy meal. You can easily use less butter than I did, while I do love butter. Make sure your scallops are super dry, that’s the secret to the perfect sear.

Lamb Chops Scottadito

Playing in the Kitchen with Chef Eric ~ It’s starting to get warmer here in New Jersey and I’m starting to grill more. These lamb chops are quick and easy. Chop up a few herbs, a little garlic… then marinate for 2 hours in the fridge. After that you just need 10 minutes to cook these babies up on the grill or in a cast iron skillet.
