Recipe - Scallops With White Butter Sauce

1 One half pound Scallops
Salt and freshly ground
pepper
1 One half cup White wine
A little lemon juice
3 ounce Snow peas or thinly cut or sliced up
green beans
1 tablespoon Chopped green onion
4 ounce Butter cut in pieces
A few chives to garnish

Remove any beards from the scallops then wash. Carefully remove the roes
and lay on paper towels to dry. Season with salt and pepper. Poach the
scallops and roes in wine and lemon juice for approx. 2 mins. Remove and
keep warm. String snow peas drop into boiling salted watr for 1 min.,
drain, do the same with beans if using. Add the green onion to the poaching
liquid and reduce to about One half cup. Over a gentle heat, add butter a little
at a time, whisking it in to make a sauce (the consistency of pouring
cream). Serve with crusty bread to mop up the lovely sauce.
