List of Ingredients




5 ounce scallops, imitation or real, raw
1 bell pepper, green, whole
10 tomatoes, cherry
2 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin
3 basil, fresh leaves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 ounce wine, white
1 corn, fresh on the cob
1 teaspoon margarine, canola-based, trans-fat free
1/4 pound blueberries
4 breadsticks, toasted sesame



Recipe



Directions:

Core and cut green peppers into chunks suitable for skewering. Thread scallops, green pepper chunks and cherry tomatoes onto skewers and place into long, shallow pan.

Blend in a small bowl or mug, olive oil, chopped basil leaves, pepper, and white wine; note that 1 ounce of wine is about 2 tablespoons.

Brush kabobs with olive oil mixture, coating all surfaces; cover and set aside.

Remove outer layer of husks on corn and save for next step. Peel back remaining husks, leaving them attached to base of corn cob, carefully and remove silk. Paint uncooked cob with measured amount of margarine; you can also bump up the flavor by first stirring lime juice and chili powder to margarine. Fold husks back into place and tie with reserved outer husks. Place corn in a bowl of icy cold water and soak 10 minutes.

Start grill or heat broiler; when hot, place corn on grates or broiler pan sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Five minutes later, place kabobs on grates or broiler pan, and also turn corn when you do. Turn kabobs and corn after about 5 minutes, basting kabobs with remaining marinade; discard marinade when finished.
