Coquilles St. Jacques Recipe




Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 lb sea scallops
2 tbsp margarine
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbsp minced shallots
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine*
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp ground white pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded swiss cheese

Instructions:

*You can substitute 3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth for wine, if desired.

1. Place flour in a zip-top plastic bag; add scallops. Seal and shake to
coat. Remove scallops from bag, shaking off excess flour; set aside.

2. Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion,
and saute 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add shallots and garlic, and
saute 1 minute. Add scallops, wine, and next 4 ingredients (wine through
bay leaf). Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Uncover and bring to a
boil, and cook 1 minute. Discard bay leaf. Divide scallop mixture evenly
among 4 individual gratin dishes. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese; broil
30 seconds or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
