TOMATOES LUTECE

I believe there is a NYC restaurant "Lutece", but this is from Taste of Oregon and is our favorite way to serve fresh tomatoes. Remember, never refrigerate your tomatoes. If you aren't going to use them right away, buy or pick them underripe and they'll ripen up in a couple of days, counter-top. Preparation time includes letting the tomatoes stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Categories dinner, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 appetizer or 2 small main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
1 shallot, chopped
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped parsley
20 bay scallops
3 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
1/4 cup minced chives
1 tablespoon fish stock or water, if necessary
1/2 lemon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Puree the tomatoes in a food mill, blender or food processor. Combine in a small nonreactive saucepan with the shallot, garlic and cream. Bring to a boil, turn the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, and keep warm.
Place the scallops on a nonstick or lightly greased baking sheet, and bake for 3 minutes.
Reheat the sauce slightly; over minimum heat, whisk in the butter a little at a time until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the chives. Adjust the texture of the sauce by reducing it a little further or by stirring in a little of the fish stock or water. Taste the sauce, and add a little lemon juice if it is bland. Serve the scallops with a bit of the sauce.
