HOW TO MAKE COQUILLES SAINT-JACQUES



How to Make Coquilles Saint-Jacques image

For something fancy, this is pretty easy to make. It's one of the world's most delicious dishes. It's rich and decadent, and yet still light.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Seafood

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup diced shallots
½ pound white button mushrooms, sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup white wine
1 pound sea scallops
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 egg yolk
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 large oven-safe scallop shells
¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pinch paprika
8 fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; saute shallots in the hot butter until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir mushrooms, salt, and black pepper into shallots. Turn heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour white wine over mushroom mixture, dissolving any browned bits of food on bottom of skillet into wine; bring to a simmer. Gently place scallops into wine and poach in the mushroom mixture until barely firm, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to a bowl. Strain mushroom mixture into another bowl, reserving mushrooms and cooking liquid separately. Return strained liquid to skillet, pour in any accumulated juices from scallops, and stir in cream. Bring to a boil and cook until cream sauce is reduced by about half, about 10 minutes. Stir often. Turn off heat and let mixture cool for 1 minute.
  • Quickly whisk egg yolk into cream sauce until combined. Transfer skillet to a work surface (such as a heatproof countertop or cutting board) and stir cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons tarragon, and lemon zest into sauce.
  • Divide mushroom mixture into scallop shells, spreading mushrooms out to cover bottoms of shells; place about 3 scallops onto each portion. Spoon cream sauce over scallops to coat; let sauce drizzle down into mushrooms. Sprinkle lightly with Gruyere cheese and paprika or cayenne.
  • Turn oven's broiler to high. Slightly crinkle a large sheet of aluminum foil and place onto a baking sheet. Place filled shells onto foil and press lightly to help them stay level.
  • Broil about 10 inches from the heat source until sauce is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to serving plates lined with napkins to prevent shells from tipping; garnish each portion with 2 crossed tarragon leaves.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound/450 g scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces/250 g mushrooms
2 shallots, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup125 ml white wine
1/2 cup/125 ml fish stock
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
Lemon juice, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
6 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallops: Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and sear 1 minute per side, to brown. Do not cook completely. Set aside.
  • To make the duxelles: Melt the butter in a large saute pan until foaming. Add the shallot and saute until soft. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have released all their liquid and the pan is dry, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and stir through the parsley.
  • To make the sauce: Melt the butter in the saute pan until foaming. Add the shallot and cook until soft. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Whisk in the wine and boil down by half. Add the stock and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche. Check the seasonings, adding salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if needed.
  • To assemble the dish: Heat the oven to broil with the oven rack at the top. Lay 6 large scallop shells or individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Divide the mushroom mixture among the shells. Arrange six scallops on each, then spoon over the sauce. For the topping, scatter over the parsley and breadcrumbs, drizzle over the melted butter, and broil until golden and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network

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.

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb sea scallops
1 cup dry vermouth, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated (about 2 ounces, or a good quality shredded Swiss cheese)
2 tablespoons chopped scallions (green onions)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or to taste)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen puff pastry shells (Pepperidge Farm has a package with 6 frozen puff pastry shells that is very good)

Steps:

  • Marinate the scallops in a 1/4 cup of the dry vermouth. Set the scallops aside while you prepare the puff pastry shells, about 20 minutes. Bake the pastry shells according to the package directions. Set the pastry shells aside and keep warm.
  • Add the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the scallops from the vermouth marinade and gently add to the pan. Leave them undisturbed until they are lightly browned on the underside. Turn the scallops and repeat. (Do NOT overcook the scallops or they will become rubbery. Think in terms of heating them, rather than cooking them.) Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds (do NOT burn the garlic or it will ruin the dish.) Remove the pan from the stove and add the remaining 3/4 cup of dry vermouth. Return the pan to the stove and let it flame. Let the flame burn until nearly extinquished. Add the cream and cook until it is almost reduced by one half. Stir in the cheese, salt and pepper, to taste, and add the scallops to warm, about a minute or so.
  • Pour into the warm puff pastry shells and garnish with chopped scallions.

INA GARTEN'S MAKE-AHEAD COQUILLES ST.-JACQUES



Ina Garten's Make-Ahead Coquilles St.-Jacques image

Here is an easy version of coquilles St.-Jacques, the classic French preparation of scallops in a creamy sauce, under a crust of bread crumbs and cheese. It comes from Ina Garten, the celebrated cookbook author and television star, who has been cooking it for dinner parties, she told The Times, practically since the start of her marriage to Jeffrey Garten in 1968. It makes for a beautiful entree that matches well with a green salad, flinty white wine and good conversation. It can be made the day before serving and heated through in an oven while guests gather. "A lot of dishes taste better after they sit for a while," Garten said. With its whisper of curry powder in the rich, unctuous sauce, this is one of them. You can make it in a casserole, but little gratin dishes are better and come in handy far more often than you might think. One per guest.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups seafood stock, clam juice or low-sodium chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 large shallots, peeled and diced, approximately 1 cup
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned, stems discarded, sliced
1/4 cup brandy or Cognac
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs (approximately 6 slices white bread, crusts removed, finely chopped or pulsed in a food processor)
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
5 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds bay scallops, or quartered sea scallops, abductor muscles removed

Steps:

  • Set a saucepan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in it. When it foams, add the flour, and cook for approximately 4 minutes, whisking constantly. Add the stock, and whisk again, until it is smooth and thick. Add the cream, curry powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring the sauce just to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • Put 3 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat. When it melts and foams, add the shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are clear and tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushroom caps, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until they have released their liquid and are just starting to brown. Add the brandy or Cognac, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the alcohol has mostly evaporated. Add a teaspoon of salt to the mixture and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and stir again to combine. Add mushroom mixture to the cream sauce, and set aside.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Gruyère in a large bowl, stir to combine, then moisten the mixture with the olive oil, stirring again to combine.
  • Use last tablespoon of butter to grease 6 1 1/2-cup gratin dishes. Divide the scallops evenly among them and top with equal amounts of the cream and mushroom sauce. Top each gratin dish with a handful or two of the bread-crumb mixture. Place dishes on a sheet tray, cover gently with foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to a day.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400. Remove cover from sheet tray, and place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and bubbling and the scallops are cooked through.

COQUILLE ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS)



Coquille St. Jacques (Scallops) image

This is one of my favorites and it is the MOST AUTHENTIC RECIPE! Other recipes that omit some of the ingredients, such as the heavy cream, are not the true recipe for this wonderful tasting dish. Also, you must serve it in shells or ramekins & not over a bed of rice. It's just as good as other recipes for this dish that require many more steps. It's YUMMY!
