Lunch: Saturday 16 June

Scallops, done a bit like Moule Mariniere.

Got some cheap scallops in Morrisons.  Morrisons is probably the best supermarket for fish.  Thought they would make a nice lunch.  Knob of butter and some olive oil in the pan on the simmering plate.  Then chop a red onion, a stick of celery and some fennel fairly small.  

Soften in the pan.  When soften transfer to the boiling plate, get a bit of heat into them.  Then add a glass of white wine so that it issues.  Drop in the scallops.  Cover with a lid.  Steam for a minute or so.  Remove the scallops, let the wine reduce a bit.  Then tip into a bowl, add the scallops.

Would I do it again?

Worked quite well - but too much onion, and not enough fennel.  Half a glass of wine would have been better.

Didn't bother with any seasoning, wine and onions is fine.
