Default REC: Scallops in Mushroom Sauce

SCALLOPS IN MUSHROOM SAUCE


Recipe from: "The Art of Irish Cooking", Monica Sheridan, 1965

[ ] are Charlie's notes

8 medium sea scallops
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
1/2 cup milk [use full fat milk]
1 onion [chopped]
2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. flour
1/2 cup cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tbs. Irish whiskey
1/4 lb. small mushrooms [chopped]
browned breadcrumbs
[additional butter for dotting]

Simmer the scallops, bay leaf, salt and pepper in milk for 5 minutes. Remove
the scallops and cut into 4 or 5 slices. Strain the milk and reserve.

Melt [soften] the chopped onion in butter. Now add flour, stir well.
Gradually add heated milk and cream, crushed garlic, and whiskey [I use a
whole tbs.]. Cook for 5 minutes. Lastly, add chopped mushrooms and sliced
scallops. Butter 4 deep scallop shells and divide the mixture among them [I
use small ramekins]. Top with breadcrumbs and dots of butter and brown under
the broiler [/grill]. 4 servings.

Thanks, Charlie - I'm always looking for different ways to prepare scallops.
(I'm going to use Scotch, though - can't fall in love with Irish whiskey!!)

HaHa! Quite possibly! Every recipe is inspired by another. This would be a
variation on a classic. Thanks for the smile!

I don't know Dora. Perhaps if you used a Scotch that was light on the smoke
factor. I'd substitute Canadian if I didn't want to use Irish.

Charlie, I'm very unknowledgeable about alcoholic beverages - would Canadian
Club work? We have some of that.

Canadian Club ain't scotch, but it'll work just fine for me to remove your bra.

Substitute vermouth for the whiskey/brandy/whatever for an interesting
taste to the cream sauce.

Yes indeed. CC would work well. Scotch has a very smoky taste that I
wouldn't care for with this dish. Canadian Club would have a gentler taste
and add a bit of sweetness which goes well with scallops.

But you would not be making the dish I posted. The flavor would be very
different. Use the Canadian Club.

Thanks, Charlie. I have two pounds of scallops sitting in the freezer
right now, so I shall, as we say, "give it a go". The recipe sounds really
good.
