For the appetizer — Sacrificial Scallops (serves 8)
This themed recipe is for an authentic dish cooked in the continental United States during the late 1930s.
- 2 or 4 cups small scallops
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices of onion
- minced parsley, salt, pepper
- slices of toasted bread
Method: Parboil the scallops, drain, and dry well. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion, and cook until yellow. Remove the onion. Put in the scallops. Cover with melted butter and let brown on all sides. Season well and serve on hot toast. Tartare is an excellent sauce with these.
