Scallop Pie
From: MasterCook
INGREDIENTS
8 large Scallops*
300 milliliters Milk
2 Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Flour
1/2 pound Mushrooms -- sliced
4 tablespoons Med.sweet white wine
1 pound Fresh mashed potatoes
For: 6 servings.
PREPARATION
Or 4 scallops and an equal amount of any white fish. Or more
scallops, if you like. Clean the scallops and cut in half, then
simmer in the milk for 15 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and stir in the flour, cook
for about a minute, stirring, then add the milk gradually, stirring
all the time to avoid lumps. Season with salt and pepper, add
the sliced mushrooms and simmer for about 10 minutes longer;
then add the sherry or wine and finally the scallops. When hot,
transfer to an ovenproof dish and cover with mashed potatoes,
making sure they cover the fish right to the edges. Dot with
the remaining butter and bake in a moderate oven, 350°F,
for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is turning brown.
