Yield Serves 2 (first course)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons minced onion
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon brandy
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 teaspoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 pound sea scallops (2 or 3), tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary and scallops sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
Fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Cook onion in butter in a heavy medium skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add brandy and cook until evaporated. Stir in cream, almonds, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce and simmer 1 minute.
  • Lightly season scallops with sea salt and add to sauce. Simmer gently just until sauce is thickened and scallops are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately in ramekins.
