Gorillas in the Mist

Thursday, April 16, 2009 we watched Gorillas in the Mist (1988) and made Mashed Bananas (er... Plantains) Under Pan Seared Scallops with Chorizo

This beautifully filmed drama is based on the true story of anthropologist Dian Fossey (Sigourney Weaver). Lured to deepest Africa by the chance to study rare mountain gorillas, Fossey learns to communicate with her subjects, but the breakthrough turns her academic interest into an all-consuming obsession. Eventually, her passion leads her to risk her life to save the gorillas from poachers and animal traders.

This was such a fancy but simple and quick recipe! The flavors were incredible and everyone loved it. We used only one pound of scallops (3 each, for a total of 9) and there was more than enough for each of us as a main course.
