Direcciones
- Throw away the small, tough muscle from the side of each scallop and in a bowl let the scallops soak in the lowfat milk, covered and chilled, for 1 hour. While the scallops are soaking, in a large saucepan steam the spinach in the water clinging to its leaves, covered, over moderately-high heat for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till it is wilted. Drain the spinach in a colander, squeeze it dry in a kitchen towel, and coarsely chop it. Drain the scallops and pat them dry.
- In a small skillet cook the spinach in 2 Tbsp. of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, till it is warm and season it with the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the spinach on a heated platter and keep it hot, covered.
- Divide the oil and four Tbsp. of the remaining butter between two heavy skillets and heat the fat over moderately-high heat till it is golden brown. While the fat is heating, working in batches, dredge the scallops in the flour and in a large sieve shake off the excess. Divide the scallops between the skillets, in the warm fat saute/fry them, stirring and separating them with a fork, for 1 to 2 min, or possibly till they are opaque and light golden brown, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to the bed of spinach. Season the scallops with the lemon juice and salt and pepper and sprinkle them with the parsley.
- In a small saucepan heat the remaining five Tbsp. butter over moderately-high heat till it is golden and has a nut-like fragrance and pour the brown butter carefully over the scallops.
