Product Information

Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won't ‘recognise’ the product. Next, make the crispy topping. Combine homemade bread crumbs (or panko), fresh diced parsley, Gruyere cheese, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Toss together to moisten the crumbs. Set aside.

Sea scallops:large sea scallops are my preference for this scallops recipe, but if you have access to sweet bay scallops (Ina's preference), that's a great option, as well! Dry sea scallops (or bay scallops) well with paper towels before cooking. If your scallops release too much water when cooking, your sauce will become thin and runny. Appearance:The color of scallops can vary, but they should generally be a creamy white or pale pink color. Avoid scallops that appear dull, discolored, or have a slimy texture. Next, make the crispy topping. Combine homemade bread crumbs (or panko), fresh diced parsley, Gruyère cheese, and olive oil in a medium bowl and toss together to moisten the crumbs. Set aside.In the preparation, there is the slightly grisly business of trimming out any nasty tubes or gristle but you can always ask your butcher to do that for you. Furthermore, by wrapping the heart in streaky bacon you do sort of hide the fact of what you are eating and bacon does deliver a sort of all-round win to a dish don’t you think? Mushrooms:meaty cremini (baby bella) mushrooms are my preference. Substitute regular button mushrooms, if you prefer. Clean your shrooms well with a dry paper towel before slicing. Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached.

Add sherry cream sauce into the pan with shallots and mushrooms and stir to combine as it's heating. Taste and adjust seasoning. The sauce should be a little too salty at this point.Next, place scallops in the mushroom cream sauce. Stir gently, coating the seafood in the sauce.

Now, you might consider dishing up some glistening heart for a romantic supper to be another recipe for disaster, especially if you are squeamish. But with some care and attention, this ball of muscle, the most life-giving of edible organs can make for excellent eating indeed. I would even go so far as to say that lambs’ hearts are offally good. Badoom-tish. I don't know the exact origin of this dish, but I suspect it was derived from her (amazing!) Stuffed Artichokes, which were a huge favorite of mine as a kid. From a very early age, I loved the novelty of taking those artichoke petals (Is it petals? Leaves? Why do I not know the correct terminology for this?? ) and scraping all the delicious artichoke and filling off off them with my teeth. Sherry:Ina's recipe calls for cognac, but dry sherry is my preference here. Brandy or white wine are two other great options to add depth and flavor to your scallop casserole dish. Grandma's Baked Artichoke Hearts is one of my favorite holiday side dishes. This is such an easy recipe and can even be made ahead of time. It's a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner!
