4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and light green parts only
1/4 cup brandy, or dry vermouth

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound large dry sea scallops

Here is how you make Seared Scallops with Brandied Leeks and Mushrooms - EatingWell:

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to give off liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in leeks; cook, adjusting heat to prevent scorching, until the vegetables are very tender and the leeks are starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add brandy (or vermouth) and broth; cook until reduced and thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in sour cream, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside. 2. Pat scallops dry and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. To serve, place some of the leek-mushroom mixture on each plate and top with scallops.Tips & Notes * Note: Be sure to buy ?dry? sea scallops (scallops that have not been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops that have been treated with STP (?wet? scallops) have been subjected to a chemical bath and are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly.NutritionPer serving: 237 calories; 7 g fat (2 g sat, 4 g mono); 42 mg cholesterol; 12 g carbohydrates; 0 g added sugars; 22 g protein; 1 g fiber; 500 mg sodium; 773 mg potassium.Nutrition Bonus: Potassium (22% daily value), Magnesium (21% dv), Vitamin A (20% dv), Vitamin C (15% dv)1 Carbohydrate ServingExchanges: 2 vegetable, 3 lean meatNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TOBESTINSON.
