Scallop & Mushroom pie
Scallops and mushrooms work beautifully together in this pie, and the addition of sherry gives it a lovely warming flavour.
Meaty yet tender, with a subtle flavour, scallops are a popular delicacy in Northern Ireland, whose coastal waters and sea loughs have long been a plentiful source. The name scallop, derived from the French escalope, means “shell,” and it’s in the bivalve’s distinctive shell that this pie is traditionally served. Scallops go well with hearty flavours such as bacon, chorizo and black pudding, and can be sautéed in butter, skewered and barbecued, or stir-fried.
