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!

Steps:
- Lay 1 or 2 paper towels over a baking pan or plate. Place scallops on top and with additional paper towels, lightly pat dry the top and sides of the scallops.
- In a stainless steel saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, about 1 to 2 minutes. The oil may pool to one side of the pan. Gently add scallops one at a time. Dip the flat side of each scallop into the oil and move across the pan providing space between the scallops. Cook on one side for 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, lift one side of the scallop to check if the bottom has browned. If not, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once ready, remove scallops onto a plate; set aside.
- Using the same oil in the saucepan, mix in wine, broth and salt. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and shallot. Cover and cook until mushrooms have released their juice; stir occasionally, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking mushrooms for another 4 minutes. If using white mushrooms, cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and once melted, mix in flour and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until no dry flour remains and thyme should be fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Mix in reserved wine-broth mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and return sauce to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 2 to 4 minutes longer. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, scallops and season with salt and pepper to taste.

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.

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.
