Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 15 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Wash 16 scallops, dry thoroughly and put on a plate on absorbant paper, then cover with a second sheet.

Leave to wait in the fridge.

Stage 2 - 15 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Prepare 200 g chanterelles.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Cut any large mushrooms into four lengthways and leave to wait on a cloth or absorbant paper.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a pan on high heat. As soon as the oil is smoking, so very hot, add the mushrooms and cook without salt, stirring continuously for 2 minutes.

Please note: we don't add salt at this point as the mushrooms would give off water and go soft.

Stage 5 - 2 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Tip the mushrooms into a strainer to drain them, and only salt them now.

Stage 6 - 4 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Using the same pan, still on high heat, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and when really hot add the scallops.

Be careful, they will spit, so put a lid over 3/4 of the pan if you wish.

Stage 7 - 4 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Salt and pepper before turning the scallops over once they are a nice golden brown. Allow 3 or 4 minutes on each side.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a wire rack. Cover with aluminium foil to keep them hot while you make the sauce.

Stage 9 - 3 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Heat the plates.

Put the pan back on high heat and pour in 4 tablespoons Noilly Prat, deglaze thoroughly with a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, then add 200 ml liquid cream.

Stage 10 - 7 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Stir thoroughly and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, add 1 teaspoon Mustard and leave to thicken (just a couple of minutes).

Stage 11 - 2 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Turn down the heat and add the mushrooms. Stir to mix well and check seasoning.

Stage 12 - 5 min.
Pan-fried scallops and chanterelles with Noilly Prat sauce
Put a layer of mushrooms on each plate and lay 4 scallops per person on top.

Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
Remarks
If you don't have any chanterelles use other wild mushrooms or cultivated ones as a last resort.

The same goes for the Noilly. You can use another vermouth like Martini or Cinzano instead.
And to drink?
A white wine goes really well with this dish. You might like to try a Pinot Gris from Alsace.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
