A Simple Meal........

mrdutton if you like scallops, try pan seared scallops with white wine sabayon....and use your value priced french white in the sabayon sauce.
Whisk the 3 egg yolk in dbl boiler over low simmer with 8 tbsp of your wine. Whisk quickly over the heat until it triples in volume and is light lemon colored.
Whisk in juice of 1/2 lemon. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Quickly sear your scallops over high heat and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp of basil chiffonade or chopped fresh lemon thyme. Sea salt to taste.
Spoon the sauce over the scallop and serve with your wine.
This works really well with crisp and citrus like whites but I have also used this recipe with champagne/ sparkling wine and mussels, using the champagne in the sauce makes it gives the sauce it a lighter and fluffier taste on the palate.
I am so hungry now I think I'll stop and pick up some scallops for dinner tonight.
Sorry about the KFC Bucko - tragic. Hope you get power before the Colonel does permanant artery damage. Although, Sabayon isn't exactly light fare. Oh but what a way to go!
