Serves 3-4 as an entree.

INGREDIENTS

4 Tbsp melted butter
12 New Zealand Scallops, cut in half crossways
Parsley, chopped (to garnish)
1 cup water
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ cup Chardonnay wine (or other dry white wine)
1 tsp honey
1 garlic clove, minced
¾ tsp cornflour, dissolved in water
1 Tbsp butter

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan combine water, wine, lemon juice, butter, honey, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until reduced to half, stirring frequently. Add dissolved cornflour and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and keep warm.

BBQ or pan-fry scallops, basting them with butter for approximately 4 minutes, 2 minutes each side. Do not overcook. They are done when they turn opaque. Arrange on individual plates, pour the sauce over them then garnish with parsley and serve.
