A recipe for the Gourmands among Us. Myself included. . I am always on the lookout for a recipe that looks interesting and tasty. I stole this one from the Old Farmers Almanac recipe archive. BTW here is a link to the OFA online, . http://www.almanac.com/ . Alan's Peach Scallops Royalle .... or (Coquilles Peche Royalle) . A house specialty that unites the subtle flavor of scallops with the sweetness of peaches and a touch of spice. --The Kennebunk Inn, Kennebunk, Maine . Yield: Serves 4. 1 medium onion, chopped fine 1/4 pound butter (1 stick) 1 pound fresh scallops 1/8 teaspoon garlic Parsley flakes 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 8 canned peach halves (reserve juice) Ritz cracker crumbs Saute onion in butter until clear and light brown, 2-3 minutes. Add scallops and saute until just mixed with onion. Add garlic, parsley, cinnamon, and juice from peaches. In a 2-quart casserole (or four individual casseroles), place the peach halves (2 per individual dish), cut side up, and cover with scallop mixture. Top with Ritz cracker crumbs and bake at 350 degrees F until liquid bubbles and crumbs are golden brown. . Bon Appetit !
