SCALLOP GRATIN



Scallop Gratin image

As far as I'm concerned, a simple gratin is the most delicious way to cook fresh scallops. The only real way to screw this recipe up would be to use the wrong scallops. And by wrong, I mean any scallops that have been soaked in a preservative brine. These are easy to identify, as they're usually sitting in a pool of milky liquid. What you want are usually sold as wild 'day-boat,' 'diver,' or 'dry-pack' scallops. They are really expensive, and worth every penny. Serve with French bread for dipping.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed, divided
¼ cup creme fraiche
¼ cup white wine
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
8 dry-pack sea scallops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Brush 2 small gratin dishes with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Whisk creme fraiche, white wine, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Place scallops in sauce and toss to coat; let sit until flavors begin to blend, about 5 minutes. Divide scallops between prepared gratin dishes and pour remaining creme fraiche sauce over the top. Top with tarragon and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle remaining butter over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. Increase oven setting to broil and continue cooking until scallops are golden brown, slightly springy, and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more.

SCALLOPS PROVENCAL



Scallops Provencal image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound fresh bay or sea scallops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped shallots (2 large)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, cut in 1/2

Steps:

  • If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
  • In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.

BAY SCALLOP GRATIN

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 44m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, minced
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, minced
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Pernod
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 cup panko
6 tablespoons dry white wine
2 pound fresh bay scallops
Lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
  • To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.

BAY SCALLOPS PROVENçAL



Bay Scallops Provençal image

Sometimes the best pairings are accidental. One weekend when I had some work to do, I asked my husband to go to the local fish market and pick up one of their marvelous chowders that could be reheated for lunch. He came home instead with a pound of local bay scallops, the first of the season (and abundant this year). Now I had to cook. Fortunately, I had other suitable ingredients on hand and in less than 30 minutes, lunch was on the table. Not one to let a tasting opportunity go to waste, I figured the dish I almost literally threw together would be compatible with a bottle of simple white Burgundy. It had just enough richness in the glass.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 3 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fresh bay scallops
3 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Toasted baguette slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the flour with some salt and pepper and toss the scallops in it. Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté over medium heat a few minutes, until soft. Remove, draining well to keep most of the oil in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. Shake excess flour from the scallops and sauté them, tossing, until lightly browned.
  • Return the shallot and garlic to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and sauté until they soften, a minute or so. Add the lemon juice and wine and stir just until the ingredients are well combined. With a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to a warm serving dish. (It's fine if some vegetables hitch a ride with the scallops.)
  • Increase the heat to high and reduce the liquid until it thickens to the consistency of heavy cream. Lower heat, swirl in the butter and check the seasoning. Fold in the parsley. Pour the sauce over the scallops and arrange the toast around the platter.

1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/3 cup dry white wine

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for scallops that are plump and have a briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just opaque in the center.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Provencal cuisine is known for its use of herbs and spices. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to find the ones you like best.

Conclusion:

Scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be prepared in a variety of ways.
