"Indulge in the luxury of fine dining right at home!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 200 ml dry white wine or vegetable broth
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 500 g scallops
- 30 g butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 300 g Paris mushrooms, sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, minced
- A bouquet garni (parsley, thyme, bay leaf)
- Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and mince the onion. Slice the carrot thinly. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
2. Cook the vegetables: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent. Add carrots and mushrooms, cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
3. Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Deglaze with white wine or broth, then add the bouquet garni. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Add heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Cook the scallops: In another skillet, heat some butter over medium-high heat. Sear the scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden yet tender inside. Set aside.
5. Finish the sauce: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolk with lemon juice. Off the heat, gently stir this mixture into the sauce, mixing well to prevent curdling.
6. Assemble: Return the scallops to the sauce, gently mixing to coat them in the creamy sauce.
7. Serve: Immediately serve, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside rice, fresh pasta, or steamed vegetables.
