Crepes With Scallops and Mushrooms

24 crepes
1 large bunch chives
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
24 small sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1/2 pound mushrooms, chanterelles, oyster, shitake, porcini, trimmed, washed, patted dry and chopped medium fine
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons truffle oil

Trim the crepes into 5 inch rounds. Snip 2 tablespoons of chives. Blanch the remaining chives in boiling water and immediately plunge into ice water. Drain and pat dry.

Heat one tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until hot. Add the scallops seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until nicely seared on both sides.

Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the shallots to the pan and cook until softened.

Add the mushrooms and cook until liquid is evaporated. Add the wine and simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 tablespoon. Add the cream and simmer until thickened and reduced by half. Add the scallops with their juices, and salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and stir in the truffle oil and the chopped chives. Spoon one scallop onto the centre of each crepe. Spoon some of the mushroom mixture over the scallop and tie the crepe into little bundles using a blanched chive.

Repeat the procedure with the remaining crepes, scallops and chives.
Yields about 24 crepes.
