Scallops

Scallop soup

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Two cans shelled scallops
One quarter glass olive oil
One garlic clove
Small glass dry white wine
One can peeled tomatoes (about 250 g)
Abundant chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

Served with: oven-baked bread slices

Preparation

Extract the shellfish and place them in a bowl. Sieve the tomatoes and collect the purée in another bowl.

Place a pot with oil and garlic on the stove. When the garlic is nicely browned, remove it and pour in the tomato purée, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix thoroughly, add the scallops, the wine and about two glasses of hot water. Cover the pot and allow to cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Pour into the bowl and serve with toast.

Remember that overcooking hardens the scallops and removes most of their "marine" flavour. Precisely in order to preserve this flavour, serve with toasted bread and not fried croutons.

Enjoy!

Scallop pasty

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
One can shelled scallops
200 grams minced pork meat
Two tablespoons oil
A little cup meat broth from cube
One package of crackers (about 100 g)
50 grams butter
A little glass warm milk
Three medium-sized boiled potatoes
1 big onion
One tablespoon minced parsley
Three tablespoons bread-crumbs
Pepper and salt

Preparation

In a pot, put the oil and pork meat, brown for 10 minutes and then with a skimmer remove it from the cooking liquid and set it aside. Finely slice the onion, place it in the same pot and gently brown.

Add the shellfish to the onion together with 30 grams of butter. Cook briefly for about ten minutes, mixing once in a while with a wooden spoon until the scallops have flavoured properly. Then remove the scallops with the skimmer and set aside. Add to the remaining cooking sauce the half cup of hot broth, mix well and cook for five minutes.

Soften for a few minutes the crackers in hot milk. Butter a high-sided round baking pan and fill with a first layer of scallops, then a layer of crackers and one of meat, salt and pepper. Continue until all the ingredients are finished, finishing with the shellfish. Cut the boiled potatoes and remaining half onion into thin slices.

Cover the scallops with bread slices and sprinkle the surface with the onion and parsley. pour onto everything the nicely hot sauce, through a small sieve. Lightly sprinkle with bread crumbs, distribute the remaining butter curls over the top and cook in a preheated oven (180°C) for about one hour. Serve hot.
