Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce Jar of hearts of palm
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons Wakame Flakes, nori or dulse, chopped
  • 1 recipe creamy garlic pasta (optional)

Instructions

  • Remove the hearts of palm from the jar/can, and rinse them in water, and dry.
  • Place the hearts of palm sticks on a cutting board.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the sticks into equal-sized pieces (about ½ inch slices)
  • Squeeze the lemon, add chopped wakame flakes, and Old Bay Seasoning into a container with the hearts of palm pieces.
  • Marinate overnight or at least for 3 hours.
  • The wakame flakes expand when exposed to moisture.
  • In a medium skillet, over medium heat, for 10 minutes, 5 minutes on each side.
  • Serve on top of creamy garlic pasta, parsley, and lemon wedges (optional)

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife when cutting the hearts of palm into vegan scallops; they should be the same width and cook evenly at the same rate.
  • Keep the centerpieces inside the outer pieces to look like scallops; they will stay together if you use a sharp knife.
  • Marinate overnight if possible for maximum flavor infusion.
  • The vegan scallops cook quickly, so if you plan to serve with pasta rice or rice, prepare the other components before cooking the scallops.
