Serves/Makes: 6

Ingredients:

• 10 sea scallops
• 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
• 6 mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, peeled (if using wooden salad bowl)
• 4 ounces mesclun (French mixture of young greens)

How to cook Saint-Jacques Tartines:

• Pour 1 teaspoon of the vinegar over the mushrooms. Rinse the scallops, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

In France the scallop is called a coquille St Jacques, literally a St James shellfish (in Canadian French, petoncle is more commonly used).
