Scallops in Saffron Sauce image

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup fish stock (or clam juice)
1 pinch saffron threads (large pinch)
2 pounds scallops
3 tablespoons Spanish olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 dash lemon juice (1 squeeze)
1 handful parsley, chopped for garnish
8 crust bread pieces

Steps:

  • Put the wine, fish stock and saffron in a pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Slice the scallops vertically into thick slices. Dry using paper towels and season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottom skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.
  • Add the scallops and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally or until they turn just opaque.
  • Remove the scallops from the skillet and place on warmed plate. Add the saffron liquid to the skillet, bring to a boil and reduce to about half. Lower the hear and gradually stir in the cream, just a little at a time. Let simmer gently until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the scallops to the skillet and let simmer for 1-2 minutes just to heat through. Add lemon juice and season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Serve hot, garnished with the parsley and accompanied by pieces of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
