Ingredients

  • 4 red bell peppers, roasted
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup butter, chilled
  • scallops, approx. 1 - 11/2 lbs

Directions

Put roasted peppers,m stick and wine in processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Pour mixture into a 12 inch skillet. Add basil and cook over medium-high heat until mixture is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Reduce heat to medium and add chilled butter a little at a time. Stir until melted and completely incorporated into sauce. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.

I usually cook the scallops for a few minutes in a little wine and butter in another pan, then add them to the sauce. This is great on linguine.
