Scallops Marsala Recipes

SCALOPPINE AL MARSALA

Steps:

• Place veal between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound to 1/4-inch thickness with the smooth side of a meat mallet. Pat dry with a paper towel and dust with flour on both sides.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add veal; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt. Transfer veal to a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Pour Marsala wine into the same skillet. Stir to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, about 2 minutes.
• Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves. Stir into the Marsala wine in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Return veal to the skillet; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve topped with sauce.

SCALLOPINI ALLA MARSALA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread radicchio on half of a rimmed baking sheet and mushrooms on other half. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until barely tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Lightly dredge pork in flour. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil and cook sage until just crisp, 1 minute. Remove from skillet. Swirl butter into skillet and cook pork in 2 batches until lightly browned around edges, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Return all pork to skillet. Pour in wine and simmer until reduced to a glaze, about 1 minute. Add radicchio and mushrooms, coat with sauce, and serve

SCALOPPINE ALLA MARSALA

Steps:

• Place pork, chicken, turkey, or veal between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder or the side of a cleaver, pound out to a thickness of 1/8-inch.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper. Very lightly coat each scallop with flour, tapping off excess.
• In a large skillet, heat butter with oil until very hot but not smoking. Quickly brown scallops, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Add Marsala to pan along with orange juice for pork, lemon juice for chicken, turkey, or veal. Cook, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits from bottom of pan. Add orange or lemon slices, and continue to cook until sauce thickens, about 4 minutes more. Garnish platter with orange or lemon slices. Pour sauce over meat and serve immediately, garnished with thyme.

SCALLOPS MARSALA

Steps:

• Rinse scallpos very well to insure free & clear of sand. Remove small muscle which attached scallop to shell (it gets tough during cooking). Salt and pepper scallops to taste and start water to boil for pasta or cooking the rice.
• Sear scallops on a high heat in butter and olive oil. Approximately 1 minute each side - no longer, or you will end up with rubbery scallops, we will add them back in later for additional cooking.
• Remove scallops and cover. Reduce heat to medium and sautee the garlic mushrooms and red onions for 3-4 minutes, adding additional olive oil if needed.
• Add marsala wine and simmer to reduce 3-4 minutes.
• Slowly drizzle half and half or soy creamer, stir well. Add cornstarch/water if needed for thickening.
• Add scallops back in, sprinkle with fresh basil and simmer low for 3-4 minutes.
• Serve over angel hair pasta or rice.

BAKED SCALLOPS WITH MARSALA AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• 1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-inch baking dish. Or, if using scallop shells, butter 4 shells, then place them on a baking sheet. 2 Cut the scallops in half crosswise. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and place them in the dish or shells. 3 Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the shallots and cook 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in the Marsala and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. 4 Pour the butter mixture over the scallops. Scatter the almonds on top. Bake 12 minutes or until the scallops are opaque and the almonds are lightly browned. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
