      Title: Two Fat Ladies' Scallops w/Leeks
 Categories: Fat ladies, Seafood, Wine, Dairy
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
     12    Fresh sea scallops on their
           - shells
      8    Young leeks
      4 tb Unsalted butter
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      2    Shallots; minced
    2/3 c  Dry white wine
    1/4 c  Dry vermouth
    2/3 c  Heavy cream
      1 bn Parsley; flat-leaf, chopped
 
  Remove the scallops from their shells or ask your
  fishmonger to do this. Separate the white flesh from the
  roe (if still there) and detach the hard skin around the
  whites and the tiny black sac from the roe. Wash clean
  under a running tap. Halve the whites horizontally. Leave
  to dry off on some paper towel.
  
  Wash the leeks and discard the green parts (you can use
  them for soup or stock). Slice the white stems lengthwise
  into narrow strips about 2 inches long. Place in a
  saucepan with 2 tablespoons of the butter, a pinch of salt
  and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  Keep hot.
  
  In another pan, melt the rest of the butter and then
  gently cook the shallots until they are soft. Add the
  wine, vermouth and the scallops, with their roe if
  available. Bring just to boiling point, then turn the heat
  very low and simmer for exactly 2 minutes, or less if the
  scallops are small.
  
  Remove the leeks from their liquid using a slotted spoon
  and place in a heated dish. With the same implement place
  the scallops on top. Add the leek juice to the scallop
  juice and boil briskly until the liquid is reduced to 1/2
  cup. Pour in the cream, bring back to a boil, and bubble
  for a moment or two. Season with salt and pepper. Pour
  over the arranged scallops and leeks. Scatter the minced
  parsley over all.
