INGREDIENTS

1 tb Fino; (dry) sherry
1 ts Chicken broth base
1 1/4 c Whipping cream
1 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Red bell pepper; diced
1/2 c White onions; diced
1 ts Green jalapeno pepper; diced
1/2 c Cotja cheese; (Mexican farmers' cheese)
8 lg Mushroom caps
1/3 c Bottled chimichum sauce*
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 lg Sea scallops**
8 Cornhusks; (soaked in water if dried)
Whole cilantro leaves and chopped parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

* Substitute 1/3 cup vinaigrette dressing to which you have added chopped
parsley and cayenne pepper to taste. ** As an alternative outside the
grilling season, buy smoked scallops
In a medium saucepan, combine sherry and chicken base. Add whipping cream
and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil to reduce mixture to 1 cup. Set
aside.
In a medium saute pan, saute bell pepper, onion and jalapeno in olive oil
over medium heat until soft but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add cream
sauce and stir to blend. Pour mixture into the bowl of a blender; puree.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Stir in cheese and set
aside. (Sauce may be made ahead. Cover and refrigerate until needed.)
Heat an outdoor grill with wood chips. Brush each mushroom cap with
chimichurri and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the caps on both
sides until tender and browned. Remove from heat and reserve.
Season scallops lightly with salt and pepper. Place cornhusks over wood
chips. Lay scallops on an oiled hinged grill or place them on skewer. Cover
the grill and smoke the scallops until firm, 4 to 6 minutes.
To serve, spoon sauce onto four plates. Place 2 mushroom caps on each plate
and add a smoked scallop to the cavity of each one. (If using pre-smoked
purchased scallops, allow 3 or 4 per serving.) Arrange cilantro leaves
around the caps and sprinkle each plate rim with parsley.
