Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound large sea scallops, patted dry
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 tomato, diced
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sear the scallops for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer the scallops with a slotted spoon to a small platter and keep them warm, covered loosely. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and in it cook the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until it is pale golden. Add the tomato and the thyme and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Season the tomato mixture with salt and pepper, spoon it over and around the scallops, and sprinkle the scallops, and sprinkle the scallops provençale with the basil.

SCALLOPS PROVENCALE



Scallops Provencale image

This is based on a recipe from the cookbook that came with my KitchenAid mixer. The introduction states, "Fresh scallops and mushrooms simmered in a light but spicy tomato sauce," and "When selecting scallops, choose ones that are translucent and shiny in appearance and have a sweetish aroma." Serve with hot cooked rice or a loaf of crusty bread.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 lb fresh mushrooms
1 (28 ounce) can Italian tomatoes, seeded, juice reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb scallops (bay or sea)
2 tablespoons red wine
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Slice mushrooms and set aside.
  • Chop tomatoes.
  • In 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat butter and olive oil.
  • Add garlic and saute 1 minute.
  • Add scallops and saute 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms and cook another minute.
  • Stir in tomatoes with their juice, red wine, parsley, lemon juice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook scallops quickly over high heat. This will help to preserve their delicate flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook scallops. They should be cooked just until they are opaque in the center.
  • Season scallops simply. A little bit of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Serve scallops immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
