When the foam subsides, add the scalloops, 3 or 4 at a time and brown them for about 3 minutes on each side. After they have browned, transfer them from the skillet to a plate. Pour off most of the fat from the skillet, leaving a thin film on the bottom. Add gsrlic and the marsala and 1/4 cup of chicken or beef stock and boil the liquid briskly over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape in any browned frsgments clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the veal to the skillet, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, basting the veal now and then with the pan juices. To serve transfer the scallops to a heated platter. Add 1/4 cup of stock to the sauce remaining in the skillet and boil briskkly, scraping in the browned bits sticking to the bottom and sides of pan. When the sauce has reduced considerably, and has the connsistency of a syrupy glazer, taste it for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat. stir in 2 tablespoons of soft butter and pour the sauce over the scallops
