Ingredients for Poached Scallops Recipe
10 ounces scallops
1-2 scallions or 1-2 shallots
2/3 cup wine
1/2 cup water
salt and pepper, to taste
various seasonings, to taste
1/2-1 cup peeled tomatoes

Poached Scallops Recipe Preparation
Chop up the scallions or shallots. In a saucepan, combine the scallions or shallots with the wine, water, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the scallops. If the scallops are small or cut into small pieces, remove them from the heat, otherwise, simmer for about 2 minutes and then remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Hot: Stir in your favorite seasonings (1 tablespoon fresh herbs, thyme, basil, parsley, or whatever you prefer). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or serve chilled as below.

Cold: Remove the scallops and place them in a bowl. Add the herbs to the saucepan and 1/2-1 cup
diced, peeled, seeded and de-juiced tomatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes (until the tomatoes give up their juice). Bring again to a boil and reduce to a reasonable consistency. Stir in the scallops and chill overnight.
