Seared Scallops on Braised Wild Mushrooms

This one was a little weird for me. The mushrooms were delicious but I'm not sure they're a great pairing for scallops. I also didn't care for the corn meal coating...much prefer plain old Wegmans pan-searing flour!! I substituted spinach for the watercress because that's what I had on hand, but honestly I'm not exactly sure what that added to the dish either. I served with cauliflower puree, (yum!). Would not make this again.

These scallops were devine....the cornmeal added a wonderfully crisp coating. The wild mushrooms and watercress were new foods for us and we enjoyed every bite.
