Recipe for the week
I am SO late to this party, but H made dinner tonight for Ash Wednesday, as we decided if we're going to eat 1 meal, it would be a good fish-based dinner. So here's what he made (and this is a man who does not cook a lot, so when he does, he goes all out):
Mussel and Scallop Stew
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c Dry white wine
- 2 lg Cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 lb Scallops
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 c Whipping cream
- 2 1/2 lb Mussels
- 1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 c Butter
- 2 sm Onions, finely chopped
Preparation
Scrub mussels well and remove any hairy beards. Discard any that are not tightly closed. Cut any large scallops in half. In Dutch oven or large heavy saucepan, melt butter and cook onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Add wine and bring to boil. Add mussels; cover, reduce heat to medium and steam for 2 minutes. Add scallops; cover and cook over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes longer or until scallops are tender and mussels open. (Remove and discard any that dont open.) Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring cream to boil; stir into stew. Spoon stew into tureen or large shallow soup bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Makes 4 servings.
It was so delicious. Less of a stew when eating, more of a delicious shellfish meal that cooks in a great sauce. We considered adding chunks of potato, but they were SO not necessary. It was very filling!
