Delicious. Coquilles St Jacques image

This is a Jane Lawson recipe from the June '07 issue of the Aussie magazine "delicious." which I have changed slightly. I had an old tried and true recipe for this dish but it's been thrown away - this is THE Coquilles St J recipe, for me, anyway. The sauce would also be good over lobster. Seems like a lot of work but it isn't.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

16 large scallops
2 teaspoons olive oil
40 g unsalted butter (an ounce and a third)
3 shallots, finely sliced (long, thing green onions)
6 button mushrooms, sliced
1 large garlic clove, very finely chopped
3 teaspoons plain flour
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup pure cream (thin)
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 egg yolk
2 -3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley or 2 -3 tablespoons chervil, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese (or swiss)
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/4 cup coarse homemade breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Trim scallops of any hard muscle or membrane, toss with enough olive oil to just coat.
  • Heat a large, heavy-based fry pan over high heat. Season the scallops with a little sea salt then sear quickly on each side for 10 seconds, or until just colored. Remove from pan & place 4 into small serving dishes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add half the butter to the pan. When melted cook shallot, mushrooms and garlic for 6 - 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Add remaining butter to pan, melt, then sprinkle over flour and stir until smooth. Whisk in the wine, cook for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the stock, then cream, until smooth.
  • Add bay leaf and lemon juice, stirring until sauce boils and thickens.
  • Add shallot and mushroom mixture, with the egg yolk, parsley (or chervil) and 2 tablespoons gruyere and stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat, season with salt & white pepper.
  • Preheat grill (broiler) to medium-high.
  • remove bay leaf from sauce, then spoon sauce evenly over the scallops.
  • Combine the crumbs with the remaining cheese and evenly divide over the top of the scallops and sauce.
  • Grill for about 5 minutes or until golden on top and heated through.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was very flavorful. I think I'll try cooking the scallops for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients, and I ended up with a mess. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.
