scallops with leek
« on: September 05, 2011, 09:11:01 am »
you will find this recipe on page 140 of the "my way of cooking"except i used prawns ....oh yeah baby!!! in my best Austin powers voice..... the sauce to this is addictive i am thinking this would be lovely over a piece of fish  or over some roast pumpkin

3 shallots
20 g butter
400g leek cut into 3mm slices
250g dry white wine
20g water
1 spn of salt (or fish paste)
pinch of pepper
12 scallops ( i used 24 green prawns that i peeled)
100g cream
2 tsp of maise ( i used arrowroot cause that is what i have in the pantry)

place shallots into mixing bowl, chop for 5 secs/speed 5
scrape down
add butter and saute 2mins/veroma/speed1
while sauteing place leeks into veroma receptacle
add white wine water salt and pepper into mixing bowl
place Veroma into position and cook on 14 mins/veroma/speed 1
while cooking place scallops(or prawns) onto veroma tray set aside
when 14 mins is finished insert veroma tray cover and cook for 7min/veroma/speed1
set veroma aside add cream and starch cook 5ins/100c/speed3
then blend 30sec/speed8
place leeks onto serving plate to form a bed top with scallops/prawns and pour over sauce
serve immediately
as long as you keep eating my pancakes .....i will stand here and keep flippin them out filled with nothing but love in my heart 'cause you chose my table to sit at =)P

I regard the original MWOC Scallops with Leeks recipe as the most successful dish I have served from the Thermomix.  Wonderful.  All the guests loved it.

I posted about this last month here:

This was so delicious - made it as entree tonight with the 5 dinner guests giving 5/5. I should have taken a pic before all entree plates were totally bare!!!!!  :)  :)
