Scallops ala Degener




Source of Recipe


Dr. Degener
1 lb. fresh scallops (smaller and cheaper bay scallops work fine)

1 lb.+ pork chops (fat trimmed, cubed so that it makes an amount equal to the scallops)

mushrooms (8-10 medium, cut small--may substitute a can of mushrooms)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 1/4 cup (measured uncooked) macaroni

1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tbs. chopped fresh corriander (may substitute dried)

1 tsp. dried tarragon

salt and pepper to taste

Saute scallops first in margarine. Be sure to wash thoroughly to remove sand, and pat dry or the scallops will lose their flavor in the pan. Next, lightly brown pork cubes, tossing often so that they become almost cooked, and set aside. Cook macaroni as you would, then grate cheese.

In covered 1 1/2 qt. casserole layer in the following order:

scallops
mushrooms
soup (undiluted, right from can--stirred a bit and "glopped" as evenly as possible)
pork cubes
cooked macaroni

Bake in moderate (350 degree) oven for 30 minutes. Then top with shredded cheese, and serve when melted. Cranberry relish is an outstanding complement, as are warm buttered rolls. And of course other cheeses can be used instead of cheddar to vary the taste.
