Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 leeks
8 ounces mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped red onion
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 pounds bay scallops
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the leeks nearly to the white part, with about 2 inches of green remaining; remove the outside layer. With a knife, make several cuts in the leeks so the sand will come out more easily when cleaned. Wash thoroughly.
  • Chop the leeks; you should have about 1 1/4 cups. Slice the mushrooms. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add the leeks and saute over high heat. Add onion; shake the skillet to coat. Add salt, pepper, mushrooms, lemon juice, thyme sprigs and wine, and cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Add half-and-half. Stir and simmer.
  • Using fingers, mix together the remaining tablespoon of butter (softened) and the cornstarch.
  • Add scallops to the skillet. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes.
  • Add the butter and cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring. Add the parsley and blend. Remove thyme sprigs and serve.
