This elegant bay scallop and polenta dish is a sophisticated high-protein meal that brings together the delicate sweetness of seafood with the earthy depth of wild mushrooms. The contrast between the creamy, butter-enriched polenta and the golden, parsley-flecked breadcrumbs creates a restaurant-quality texture that is perfect for a special weekend dinner or an impressive dinner party starter. Using chanterelles or oyster mushrooms adds a lovely woody aroma that pairs beautifully with the nutty notes of Amontillado Sherry.
While the components look intricate, the preparation is straightforward and follows a logical flow. The herbed breadcrumbs can be toasted in advance, leaving you free to focus on the quick-seared scallops and the simmering cream sauce. Served on warmed plates, this dish offers a balanced, comforting meal that is as nutritious as it is flavourful, providing a generous serving of protein alongside sophisticated, savoury notes.

How to make Bay Scallops with Polenta, Wild Mushrooms, Sherry, and Parsley Bread Crumbs
Volver al contenidoPreheat oven to 177°C. Toss breadcrumbs with olive oil and parsley in medium bowl to blend. Spread onto rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crunchy, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
Melt 60ml butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Add spring onions; sauté 1 minute. Add Sherry; boil until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add broth. Boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add cream; simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Bring 950ml water and 1 teaspoon salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook polenta until tender, adding more water as needed if too thick, and whisking frequently, about 20 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Reheat mushroom mixture. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in another large skillet over high heat. Add scallops and sauté until just translucent in centre, about 1 minute. Stir scallops and juices into mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide polenta among 6 plates. Spoon scallop mixture over polenta, sprinkle breadcrumbs over, and serve.
