INGREDIENTS

8 large fresh mushrooms

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 clove garlic, peeled & minced finely

1 tsp rosemary leaves

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

1 + 1/2 tsp minced fresh chives

dash freshly ground pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

2 drops worcestershire sauce

3 tbsp whole grain bread crumbs

8 sea scallops (or 1/4 pound bay scallops)

1 tsp finely minced fresh parsley

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove stems from mushrooms. Wipe caps with damp paper towel and place in a flat glass pie plate.
Mix vinegar, garlic, rosemary and olive oil together in a medium sized bowl. Marinate mushrooms in this mixture for one hour, spooning some of the marinade over the mushrooms. The mushrooms should absorb most of the marinade.
Melt butter in a small skillet and add all remaining ingredients, except for scallops and parsley. Stir for a few seconds and set aside.
Place 1 large scallop (or 3 or 4 small ones) in each mushroom cap and spoon a bit of the bread crumb mixture over each one.
Preheat broiler and broil mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsely just before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
