TASSIE CURRY SCALLOP PIE
I came up with this recipe after reading a forum request and concensus was that it was delicious. Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste, two tablespoons is relatively strong. You can also prepare a few hours in advance, pop it all in the fridge and bake later, which is what I did.

SCALLOP PIE
This recipe was demonstrated by a fellow classmate at an evening course on fish cookery that I took over 30 years ago. It sounded odd - who puts cheddar cheese with scallops!? but tasted delicious. Only use instant potatoes if you can get high quality ones that don't have artificial ingredients or flavors. This make a nice main course served with a salad though would be great served in smaller individual portions as an appetizer. If you make this with bay scallops you may want to reduce the cooking time so you don't end up with rubbery scallops. I like to use a medium sized scallops, if using large ones you may want to cut them in half. Please note that you need to reserve some of the cooking liquid when draining the scallops. Cooking time does not include preparing mashed potatoes.

- The original recipe called for canned mushrooms which I never use now. If you do use them, do not cook them in the initial step with the scallops, just add them with the cheese. To cook them slightly before the short baking time poach them with the scallops, though you could also lightly saute them while making the roux.

Steps:
- Cut the cleaned scallops in half if they are large and simmer in milk, with salt and pepper, for 15 minutes. Strain, but reserve the milk.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and mix well, then gradually stir in the warmed milk, seeing that it is free from lumps. Add the mushrooms, sherry, and scallops.
- Put into an ovenproof dish and cover the top with mashed potatoes. (You may wish to mix the potatoes with a bit of milk so they can be spread like an icing over the scallops.).
- Dot with additional butter and bake at 350* oven until the top is gently browned, about 20-30 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley.
Tips:
- Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor that is perfect for pies. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops will also work, but they may not be as flavorful.
- Sear the scallops before baking. Searing the scallops before baking helps to develop their flavor and gives them a nice golden brown crust.
- Use a flavorful filling. The filling for your scallop pie should be flavorful and complement the scallops. Some good options include a creamy sauce, a cheesy sauce, or a mixture of vegetables.
- Don't overcook the pie. Scallops are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Bake the pie until the scallops are just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the pie cool before slicing. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
