Equally divide and place tarragon veggies on the side.

Add carrots and butter, cover and cook another 2 minutes, Stir in tarragon, mustard, vinegar and salt.
Serve as a side dish.
Note: According to 'Cookin Light', the yield is about 1/2 cup of puree and 4 scallops per person for 4 servings, and also 4 servings for the veggies.
Also, the recipe didn't specify exactly where to put the red pepper, so I divided it, but you may put it where-ever you like.
