Cooking instruction summary:

Cook barley, if you haven't already done so. Pat scallops dry and season with sea salt and pepper. In a large, heavy, hot saut pan add 1 tablespoon olive and add scallops in batches so they're not crowded. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until somewhat firm to the touch and well-caramelized on the outside. Remove from the pan and cover with foil. Repeat with remaining scallops. Set aside and keep warm. To the pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garbanzo beans, barley and greens beans and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat, add butter, parsley, lemon zest and salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Stir to combine until butter is melted. Serve scallops on top of beans and barley. Drizzle remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over the top of the scallops and garnish with lemon zest and parsley.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
