Transfer to 8 greased 8-oz. ramekins., Bake, covered, 40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes longer.

CREAMY BROCCOLI STEM GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, broccoli stems, cream, thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the potatoes have absorbed some of the cream and the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the Gruyere.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shake to distribute the potatoes and broccoli evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

CHEESY CRUNCHY BROCCOLI SCALLOPED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Make potatoes as directed on box for stove-top directions. Stir in mustard. Add half the potatoes to baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle broccoli over top. Pour remaining potatoes on top of broccoli. Sprinkle crushed crackers on top.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until sauce is bubbling. Let stand 5 minutes before serving (sauce will thicken as it stands).

STIR-FRIED SCALLOPS WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Trim the large leaves from the broccoli, and cut off any tough ends of lower stems. Rinse broccoli with cool water. Cut stems and florets into bite-size pieces. Cut stem ends from the mushrooms, and cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices.
• If the scallops are larger than 1 inch in diameter, cut each in half. Rinse with cool water, and pat dry with paper towels. Drain the roasted red peppers in a strainer; cut the red peppers into slices.
• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the rice and water to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover with lid; cook about 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy and tender. While the rice is cooking, continue with the recipe.
• In a 3-quart saucepan or 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender when pierced with a fork.
• Stir in the scallops, broccoli and roasted red peppers. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until scallops are white and opaque. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Place the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Gradually stir the chicken broth into the cornstarch until the mixture is smooth. Stir the broth mixture and soy sauce into the scallop mixture. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 1 minute, stirring constantly. Serve over rice.

SCALLOPED BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Parboil the broccoli florets until still crisp-tender and then drain well.
• Place the prepared broccoli in a 9x13 inch baking dish (or at least a 3 quart casserole dish).
• In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix together the soup, milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
• Pour soup mixture over the broccoli and spread evenly.
• *Optional* Sprinkle more shredded cheese over the top of the soup mixture.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan then add breadcrumbs and mix together. The breadcrumbs should be lightly coated - use an amount that fits your needs.
• Spread breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole to cover.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the 350 degree oven (uncovered).
• I have prepared this dish the day before and covered it well and then actually baked it the next day and it does fine.
• You can also add cubed cooked chicken to this recipe (about 2 cups). Place the chicken over the broccoli layer and then pour the soup mixture over that. I usually make a bit more soup mixture when adding the chicken. Makes a great one dish meal using leftover ingredients.

SEIZED SCALLOPS WITH BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• For the broccoli rape: With a sharp knife peel off and discard the thick, fibrous skin covering the larger broccoli rabe stems. Cut the vegetable into 1 1/2-to-2-inch pieces. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• No more than 30 minutes before serving time, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and pepper flakes to the hot oil and stir for about 4 seconds, then add the broccoli, water and salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. By then, most of the liquid should be gone. Set the broccoli rabe aside while you prepare the scallops.
• For the scallops: Remove the small sinew, which tends to be tough, from each scallop. Rinse the scallops in cool water to remove any sand and dry them thoroughly. In a bowl mix the scallops with the olive oil, salt, thyme and pepper.
• At serving time, heat a skillet for about 3 minutes, until very hot. Add the scallops, spreading them to create one layer, and cook them over high heat for about 2 minutes, turning them occasionally so they brown well on all sides. Cover the skillet and set it aside off the heat for about 1 minute so the scallops continue to cook in the residual heat.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the sauce ingredients. Divide the broccoli rabe among six plates and arrange the scallops on top, about five per plate. Spoon some sauce over the scallops and serve immediately.

SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC PORK ROAST WITH SCALLOPED POTATOES AND EASY STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cook the pork: Rub the salt and pepper over the pork. Place the pork in a slow cooker and pour the vinegar over the top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
• About an hour before the pork is done, make the scalloped potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a 2-quart square baking dish, toss the potatoes with the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, thyme, sage, and pepper. Arrange the potato slices in even layers in the baking dish, overlapping the potatoes in each layer slightly, then pour the cream over the top. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the baking dish, top the potatoes evenly with the cheese, and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until the cheese is bubbling.
• Just before serving, steam the broccoli: Place the broccoli in a large glass bowl and add about ¼ cup water. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. (Alternatively, place the broccoli in a medium pot and add ¼ cup water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook the broccoli for 10 minutes, or until tender.) Drain the broccoli and transfer to a serving dish. Add the butter, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine. Cover and keep hot until serving time.
• When the pork is done cooking, baste it with the vinegar mixture in the slow cooker. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut it in half. Slice one portion and set it aside. Shred the remaining pork either with two forks or using a stand mixer, then transfer it to an airtight container (you should have about 3 cups), and refrigerate for another use.
• Serve the sliced pork with the scalloped potatoes and broccoli alongside.

BAY SCALLOP PASTA WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and set aside.
• Wipe out the pot, and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, stirring occasionally, and cook until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes; crush some with the back of a spoon. Stir in white wine, olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops all at once, coating with oil; don't move or shake the pan for 1 minute. Gently flip the scallops, and cook until firm and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not overcook scallops.
• Add the pasta to the tomato mixture, toss to coat, and add reserved pasta water, if necessary. Divide the pasta mixture evenly among 4 shallow bowls and top with the scallops. Lightly drizzle with more olive oil, if desired, garnish with parsley, and serve.
