Aimer faire plaisir à ceux qu'on aime

Ingredients

• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) butter
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) baby scallops
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) shiitake mushrooms, dried and re-hydrated in water
• 250 ml (1 cup) Pied-De-Vent, cut into cubes
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) basil, finely chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 12 won-ton wrappers

Preparation

In a small frying pan, melt butter and sauté the scallops, just until slightly coloured (around 1 minute). Remove from heat and add the re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms, cheese and basil. Add salt and pepper.
Spread the won-ton wrappers on a working surface and moisten the edges so that they stick together once they have been stuffed.
Spread 5 ml (1 tsp.) of the cheese mixture on a won-ton wrapper.
Fold the wrapper and make sure to seal it well. Repeat this step with the rest of the wrappers to make 12 dumplings.
Cook in a double boiler, on medium heat, for about 1 minute.
Divide the Pied-De-Vent dumplings into soup plates. Add Madeira broth with mushrooms (see the recipe below).
