Provided by URBAN BAKES

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon (13 grams) extra virgin olive oil
1 pound (454 grams) large sea scallops
1 cup (240 grams) dry white wine or white cooking wine
1/2 cup (120 grams) chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, divided
1 pound (454 grams) sliced white or brown cremini mushrooms
1 large shallot, minced (40 grams)
2 tablespoons (15 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1/2 cup (120 grams) heavy cream
1 teaspoon (6 grams) lemon juice

Steps:

  • Lay 1 or 2 paper towels over a baking pan or plate. Place scallops on top and with additional paper towels, lightly pat dry the top and sides of the scallops.
  • In a stainless steel saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, about 1 to 2 minutes. The oil may pool to one side of the pan. Gently add scallops one at a time. Dip the flat side of each scallop into the oil and move across the pan providing space between the scallops. Cook on one side for 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, lift one side of the scallop to check if the bottom has browned. If not, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once ready, remove scallops onto a plate; set aside.
  • Using the same oil in the saucepan, mix in wine, broth and salt. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and shallot. Cover and cook until mushrooms have released their juice; stir occasionally, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking mushrooms for another 4 minutes. If using white mushrooms, cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and once melted, mix in flour and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until no dry flour remains and thyme should be fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in reserved wine-broth mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and return sauce to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 2 to 4 minutes longer. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, scallops and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound sea or bay scallops
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch cayenne

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and add the salt, pepper, and wine. Add the scallops and bring to the boil. Cook until all the scallops are heated through, stirring gently as necessary. Take care not to let the scallops overcook or they will toughen. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the scallops and mushrooms. Reserve the liquid. There should be about 3/4 cup of liquid. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When blended add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened and smooth. Add the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of cayenne. Whip the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Fold it into the sauce. Use 6 individual scallop shells or ramekins. Spoon equal portions of the scallops and mushrooms into each shell. Spoon the sauce over the scallop mixture. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the filled shells under the broiler about 6 inches from the source of heat and bake until a nice brown glaze forms on top. As the scallops broil, turn shells occasionally for even browning, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

12 large diver scallops, cleaned and patted dry

1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, cubed, at room temperature

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS & SPINACH SAUCE



Sautéed scallops with mushrooms & spinach sauce image

A quick, impressive dish that's easy to prepare and cook, creating stacks of flavour within minutes

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Dinner, Side dish, Starter

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 big knobs of butter
100g mushroom , sliced (button, chestnut or cleaned wild)
100g spinach , stems trimmed and washed
2 tsp groundnut oil
6 good-sized scallops , shelled and cleaned (with or without corals)
nutmeg , for grating

Steps:

  • Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and fry for just a min or two before adding the spinach. Cook on a high heat for about 1 min, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften. Drain the leaves and mushrooms in a sieve or small colander set over a bowl, pressing them gently in the sieve to release the juices (the juices will provide the base for the sauce, so don't discard them). Keep warm to one side.
  • Heat the oil in a separate clean frying pan. When very hot, add the scallops. Sauté for a couple of mins without disturbing them at all, then add a knob of butter to the pan. Turn the scallops, season with salt and pepper, then baste with the sizzling butter. Continue to cook for a further couple of mins until the scallops are ready.
  • While sautéing the scallops, return the saved spinach juices to the pan the spinach and mushrooms were cooked in, then whisk in the remaining knob of butter to create the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
  • Now finish in style: Arrange spinach and mushrooms on plates or in bowls, sit the scallops on top, then spoon the nutmeg spinach sauce around.

SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS & WHITE WINE (COQUILLES ST JACQUES PARISIENNE)



Scallops with mushrooms & white wine (Coquilles St Jacques Parisienne) image

Anne Willan's timeless seafood classic makes for an impressive and elegant main course

Provided by Anne Willan

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 16

900g shelled scallops
350ml fish stock
½ bottle (375ml) white wine
350g button mushrooms , trimmed and quartered
juice of ½ lemon , more to taste
2 tbsp toasted breadcrumbs
1 tbsp melted butter
1 ½kg floury potatoes , such as Kind Edwards or Maris Piper, each cut in 2-3 pieces
85g butter
large pinch of grated nutmeg
6 egg yolks
2 shallots , finely chopped
65g butter
35g plain flour
125ml crème fraîche or double cream
8 large scallops shells or shallow individual baking dishes

Steps:

  • For the potatoes, boil them until tender. Drain them, put them back in the pan and dry them for 1-2 minutes over a low heat. Take off the heat and mash the potatoes with the butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper, then beat over a low heat until fluffy. Take the potatoes off the heat and beat in the egg yolks to thicken. Adjust the seasoning. Let the purée cool slightly, then spoon it into a large plastic sandwich bag with a 2cm/3⁄4in cut in a corner (or piping bag with a plain nozzle) and pipe a generous border of potato around each scallop shell.
  • Discard the white muscle from each scallop and cut any large scallops horizontally in half. Heat the fish stock and wine in a pan, add the scallops, cover and poach 1-2 minutes until the scallops just whiten (remember that they will cook further in the sauce). Transfer them to a bowl, reserving the stock separately.
  • Cook the mushrooms, covered, with the lemon juice, salt and pepper, in a thin film of water until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If any liquid remains, simmer uncovered until it has evaporated. Add the mushrooms to the scallops.
  • For the sauce, boil the reserved stock for 10 minutes until reduced to 450ml/16 fl oz. Fry the shallots in the butter until soft, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until it's foaming. Whisk in the stock and bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer until the sauce thickens to coat a spoon, 3-5 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and any liquid released by the scallops, and simmer until the sauce reaches coating consistency. Season.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan 180C. Stir the scallops and mushrooms into the sauce and spoon into the shells. (Can be prepared ahead to this stage and kept in the fridge for 6-8 hours.) Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Set the shells on a baking sheet, steadying them on a slice of bread or a bed of foil. Bake until browned and bubbling, 12-15 minutes. Serve very hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Scallops: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh scallops. Look for scallops that are firm, plump, and have a briny smell.
  • Sear Scallops Properly: To get a nice sear on your scallops, make sure your pan is hot before adding them. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque in the center.
  • Use a Variety of Mushrooms: For a more complex flavor, use a variety of mushrooms in your sauce. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Reduce the Sauce: To intensify the flavor of the sauce, simmer it for a few minutes until it has reduced by about half.
  • Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Mushroom Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. Whether you serve it as an appetizer or main course, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dish to make, give this recipe a try!
