Ready for Plan B is kicking off a new series where we will feature guest chefs each Monday. The goal is to help our readers to find great recipes to have success with their Meatless Mondays (and beyond!). There are so many great vegan chefs and bloggers out there and I’ve been fortunate to link up with many through twitter and the blog. I am very grateful to them for helping me pull this off and we hope you find this series helpful!

The first recipe is a product of a conversation I had with my friend MJ on twitter. I was curious and it lead to chat and here we are… our first guest chef!

MJ Marti’s Breaded Veggie Scallops
Ingredients:
1/4 cup corn meal
1/8 teaspoon adobo
1 can veggie scallops
Oil for frying (I like using olive oil.)

Preparation:
1. Mix the corn meal and adobo in a bowl.
2. Cut the pieces of scallops in half.
3. Dip the scallops in the dry mix until completed covered.
4. Once the oil is hot enough (oil should slightly bubble when you put the first scallop in) put the scallops in the pan for about 2-3 minutes or until golden.

MJ’s notes:
I like to pair mine with rice, beans and a salad for a complete meal. Buen provecho!
