From Greece With Love - Scallop And Leek Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Crainny / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago My friend who lives in Greece was bragging about this one until she got me to try it out. I think it's French in origin, but she swears it's Greek. It's all Greek to me... main thing it's insanely tasty and easy to make. I am all for international food connections!...

Ingredients

1 to 1-1/2 lbs fresh scallops

2-3 large leeks, trimmed (see picture)

1 to 1-1/2 cup heavy cream

4 tbsp butter

1/2 to 1 cup of white cooking wine

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse leeks well, cut in half length-wise, and slice into thin long strips, also lengthwise - the whole point is to let them be like spaghetti in thickness and length.

In a shallow wide-mouth saucepan or deep skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat

Saute leeks over slow heat constantly stirring to avoid browning

Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, melt the rest of the butter and saute scallops over medium heat until they soak all the butter up.

At that point, add your wine, heat through, and continue sauteing over low heat until wine reduces almost entirely.

Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

When all the wine is gone, add scallops to leeks.

Add cream at this point, heat through and simmer over very low heat until cream thickens

Serving suggestion: serve in large scallop shells, scrubbed clean and dried. Place leeks first in a manner of spaghetti - forming a little nest and then place scallops on top of the leeks.

O-PA!

This sounds really good. Thanks for the post.

I'm curious about the butter. If it were a Greek recipe wouldn't there be olive oil instead of butter?

I agree, it's not Greek, which I already said in the intro. But, you know from the movie, Greeks think that all good things in the world are Greek, no?
I know, because my Jewish family claims the same about Jewish origin of all things perfect...
