1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1½ | pounds | Scallops |
| Salt and freshly ground pepper | ||
| 1½ | cup | White wine |
| A little lemon juice | ||
| 3 | ounces | Snow peas or thinly sliced green beans |
| 1 | tablespoon | Chopped green onion |
| 4 | ounces | Butter cut in pieces |
| A few chives to garnish | ||
Directions
Remove any beards from the scallops then wash. Carefully remove the roes and lay on paper towels to dry. Season with salt and pepper. Poach the scallops and roes in wine and lemon juice for approx. 2 mins. Remove and keep warm. String snow peas drop into boiling salted watr for 1 min., drain, do the same with beans if using. Add the green onion to the poaching liquid and reduce to about ½ cup. Over a gentle heat, add butter a little at a time, whisking it in to make a sauce (the consistency of pouring cream). Serve with crusty bread to mop up the lovely sauce.
