Recipe: Scallop and Mushroom Parmentiere

Make some mashed potatoes the way you usually make them, while reducing the quantity of milk and butter added to them.

Add 1 large tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic clove, degermed and finely chopped. Keep hot (in an oven turned on at a temperature of 175°F or 80°C).

Dice the scallops and sauté them in a frying pan with the remaining olive oil for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in a warm place.

Use the same frying pan (do not clean it) to reheat the sauteed mushrooms.

In a large oven dish place a layer of mashed potatoes. Alter nate with layers of mushrooms and scallops, finishing off with a layer of mashed potatoes.

You may decorate the surface of the dish using a spatula. Sprinkle the top with golden bread crumbs. Add a dash of olive oil and put it in the oven to brown at 400°F (210°C) for 10 minutes.

A true wonder !!!
