SCALLOP GRATIN WITH SCALLIONS



Scallop Gratin with Scallions image

Scallops with cheese? In this case, yes. My mother makes this as a holiday staple and I can still remember the first time I ate it as a kid. She ran out of the kitchen with the large scallop shells, sizzling, filled with this recipe. These are delicious, and the portion so small that it leaves you wanting more. Be warned: People may leave the table, shells in hand, and go somewhere and lick the crust of bread crumbs and leftover sauce from the shells in private. I also recommend some bread for sopping up the juices.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup coarse bread crumbs, preferably panko, toasted
3/4 cup thick grated Gruyere
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Scallops:
2 tablespoons canola oil
16 medium dry diver sea scallops, each halved down the middle
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound small white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dry vermouth, preferably Noilly Prat
1 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus 1 additional lemon for optional garnish
3 scallions (white part only), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Make the breadcrumb topping: In a bowl, combine the butter and bread crumbs. Use a rubber spatula to mix them until they form a paste. Stir in the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Mix in the thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the scallops: Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the canola oil. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add them to the pan. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds until the edges brown and then quickly remove them to a plate using tongs.
  • Cook the mushrooms: Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they soften and brown lightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vermouth and simmer until virtually all the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream, stirring gently, and simmer until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not boil vigorously or the mixture risks separating. Taste for seasoning. Stir the scallops, lemon juice, and scallions. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Broil the scallop: Transfer the sauce and scallops to a shallow ovenproof dish (or into clean scallop shells, if desired). Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and broil until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. The time may be slightly longer or shorter depending on how quickly the top browns. Watch carefully! Serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 44m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, minced
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, minced
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Pernod
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 cup panko
6 tablespoons dry white wine
2 pound fresh bay scallops
Lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
  • To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.

SCALLOP GRATIN



Scallop Gratin image

As far as I'm concerned, a simple gratin is the most delicious way to cook fresh scallops. The only real way to screw this recipe up would be to use the wrong scallops. And by wrong, I mean any scallops that have been soaked in a preservative brine. These are easy to identify, as they're usually sitting in a pool of milky liquid. What you want are usually sold as wild 'day-boat,' 'diver,' or 'dry-pack' scallops. They are really expensive, and worth every penny. Serve with French bread for dipping.

SCALLOP AND MUSHROOM GRATIN



Scallop and Mushroom Gratin image

This is a delicious recipe that I found in a Culinary Institute of America cookbook. It's quick and easy enough to qualify for 'after-work friendly', my favorite kinds of recipes!

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
3/4 lb mushroom, sliced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 lbs sea scallops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon minced shallot
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and when it stops foaming, add the mushrooms and saute until they are tender and any juices they release have cooked away, about 5 minutes; transfer to an ovenproof dish and spread in an even layer, then top with the tomatoes; arrange the scallops on the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring about a 1/2 inch of water to a simmer in a large saucepan; mixtogether the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water, wine and shallots in a stainless steel mixing bowl; set the bowl over the simmering water and whisk constantly until a thick foam forms, about 8 minutes; remove the bowl from the heat, fold in the sour cream and mustard and spoon over the scallops.
  • Place dish in the oven and bake until the scallops are nearly cooked through, about 6-8 minutes; if the top is not browned, broil the scallops just long enough to make the top golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal seafood and vegetables, and use high-quality olive oil and butter.
  • Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to prevent the scallops from sticking and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your scallops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are at their most tender and flavorful.
