  • INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4):

    6 Medium Scallops Cut Into Pieces
    100g Peeled Prawns
    100g Button Mushrooms Halved
    Small Onion, Peeled & Finely Diced
    100g Plain Flour
    100g Butter
    White wine
    Milk
    Salt, Pepper and Mixed Herbs to Season to Taste
    2 Slices of Bread Made Into Fine Breadcrumbs
    100g grated emmental cheese
    4 Clean, Large Scallop Shells

  1. Place the scallops, onion, mushroom & seasoning in a saucepan and
    add enough white wine to cover.

  2. Simmer gently until the scallops are cooked (approx 5 minutes).

  3. Strain, reserving the white wine to make a sauce. Place the scallop mixture
    to one side and keep warm.

  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Mix until it forms a ball.
    Remove from heat.

  5. Slowly and gradually add the white wine and enough milk until a
    runny sauce is formed.

  6. Return to heat and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and stir well until the
    sauce thickens.

  7. Add the scallop mixture and prawns to the sauce to heat through.

  8. Place in the scallop shells and top with the breadcrumbs and grated emmental.

  9. Grill until golden brown and serve with warm crusty bread.
