Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. In a 12-inch to 14-inch sauté pan, sauté onion and garlic in virgin olive oil over moderate heat until softened but not brown (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add capers, chilies, scallops, wine, lemon zest and juice and butter and bring to boil. Cover and steam until scallops are all open (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir in parsley, pour into warm serving bowl and serve.
  4. This recipe yields 4 antipasto servings.
