Grilled Scallops With Coriander Butter Sauce

Authentic, biblical Christianity has always been an exclusive religion. This became apparent during the Roman Empire. When the Emperor Alexander Severus heard about Christianity, he placed an image of Christ beside the other gods in his private chapel, just to be safe. The Romans were happy to welcome Jesus into their pantheon. What the Romans couldn’t understand was why Christians refused to reciprocate. If the emperor was willing to worship Christ, why weren’t Christians willing to worship the emperor? Yet the early Christians insisted that in order to worship Christ at all, they had to worship Christ alone. They were even willing to stand up for this conviction by playing “Christians and lions” at the Colosseum.

INGREDIENTS

2	T	Minced onion
1	T	White-wine vinegar
1/4	c	Water
1	t	Ground coriander
1/2		Stick cold unsalted butter

		1/4 cup

		Vegetable oil for brushing
		the scallops
2	T	Minced fresh coriander

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small heavy saucepan simmer the onion, the vinegar, the water,
and the ground coriander until the liquid is reduced to about 1
tablespoon and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting the  pan
from the heat occasionally to let the mixture cool adding each  new
piece of butter before the previous one has melted completely.  (The
sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the
consistency of thin hollandaise.) Season the sauce with salt and
pepper, transfer it to a bowl set in a larger bowl of warm water, and
keep it warm.  Brush the scallops with the oil, heat a ridged grill pan
over high  heat until it is hot and just begins to smoke, and in it
grill the  scallops, for 5 minutes on each side, or until they are
cooked  through. Whisk the fresh coriander into the butter sauce, spoon
the  sauce onto 2 plates, and arrange the scallops on it.  Serves 2.

“God Answers Knee Mail”

Mothers, don’t let anyone ever dupe you into thinking there’s anything ignoble or disgraceful about remaining at home and raising your family. Don’t buy the lie that you’re repressed if you’re a worker in the home instead of in the world’s workplace. Devoting yourself fully to your role as wife and mother is not repression; it is true liberation. Multitudes of women have bought the world’s lie, put on a suit, picked up a briefcase, dropped their children off for someone else to raise, and gone into the workplace, only to realize after fifteen years that they and their children have a hollow void in their hearts. Many such career women now say they wish they had devoted themselves to motherhood and the home instead.
