SAUTEED MUSHROOMS AND SCALLOPS
I was out at a cabin when one of my guests brought in some scallops. Since I had some mushrooms, onions, and garlic, I combined the ingredients to create this dish. This recipe is quick and easy to make and requires only one pan to complete. Necessity really is the mother of invention!

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with a 2-count of oil. When the oil is hot, sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper and brown well on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm while you make the risotto.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Drizzle in another 2-count of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until soft. Toss in the mushrooms and herbs and cook until the mushrooms lose their liquid and are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and stir 2 minutes to coat with the oil; the grains will turn opaque. Season again. Stir in the wine and cook 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.
- Now pour in 1 cup of the warm stock and stir with a wooden spoon until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid. Add another cup of stock. Continue in this way, stirring constantly and adding the stock 1 cup at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. (You may not need all of the stock; the risotto is done when it is slightly firm but creamy.) Fold in the scallops with the last cup of stock to warm them up. When the risotto is cooked, fold in the butter and cheese, and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve hot. Garnish with parsley.
COQUILLES ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS IN CREAM SAUCE)
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.

Steps:
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and fry for just a min or two before adding the spinach. Cook on a high heat for about 1 min, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften. Drain the leaves and mushrooms in a sieve or small colander set over a bowl, pressing them gently in the sieve to release the juices (the juices will provide the base for the sauce, so don't discard them). Keep warm to one side.
- Heat the oil in a separate clean frying pan. When very hot, add the scallops. Sauté for a couple of mins without disturbing them at all, then add a knob of butter to the pan. Turn the scallops, season with salt and pepper, then baste with the sizzling butter. Continue to cook for a further couple of mins until the scallops are ready.
- While sautéing the scallops, return the saved spinach juices to the pan the spinach and mushrooms were cooked in, then whisk in the remaining knob of butter to create the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
- Now finish in style: Arrange spinach and mushrooms on plates or in bowls, sit the scallops on top, then spoon the nutmeg spinach sauce around.

Steps:
- Place the stock in a small saucepan and boil until it is reduced by two-thirds. Hold in a warm spot.
- Cut the sole across the fillet into strips about three-quarters of an inch across. Slice the scallops in half horizontally. Set aside.
- Cut the carrot, leek and celeriac into julienne strips about one inch by an eighth of an inch. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and thinly slice the caps.
- Over medium-low heat, place the butter and half the Vouvray in a wide, shallow saucepan with a thick bottom or a skillet. When the butter is melted, add the carrot, leek and celeriac and cook until they're al dente, about five minutes. Add the mushrooms and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay the sole strips over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining Vouvray and the fish stock. Season lightly again. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for two minutes. Add the scallops and cook two minutes longer. The seafood should just turn white. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fish and scallops to a warm plate. Add the cream and basil to the pan and boil vigorously until the sauce thickens. With the slotted spoon, remove the vegetables to the plate. Taste and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
- Serve on large plates, arranging the fish, scallops and vegetables attractively, then spooning the sauce over.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Frozen scallops can be used, but they will not have the same flavor and texture as fresh scallops.
- Sear the scallops quickly over high heat. This will help to caramelize the outside of the scallops and create a nice crust.
- Do not overcook the scallops. Scallops should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of mushrooms in the ragout. This will add different flavors and textures to the dish.
- Serve the scallop ragout over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. This will make a delicious and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Scallop ragout with mushrooms is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender scallops and flavorful mushrooms are cooked in a creamy sauce that is sure to impress your guests. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great option for home cooks of all skill levels.
