I recently had a chance to visit the incredible Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The famed Penrose Room at the resort is a 5 Star 5 Diamond award winning restaurant. The chef shared this scallops recipe with me…they are so good! “Click here to see the video we shot at the Penrose Room”:/destinations/the-beautiful-elegant-broadmoor-in-colorado-springs/. The recipe is below. Enjoy!
