Sea scallops with mushrooms "French style"

Preparing sea scallops: place frozen scallops in a bowl and leave to thaw at room temperature to preserve their nutrients. Once thawed, rinse them under running water and place them in salted boiling water. Boil for 3-5 minutes, then remove and place on a plate to cool. Then slice them.

Cooking rice: we boil rice. This can be done in several ways, but I prefer to steam the rice because it turns out very tasty and fluffy. Method of cooking rice in a pot: add rice to a pot with water in a 1:2 ratio. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover tightly. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes until the rice absorbs all the water.

Preparing mushrooms: wash fresh champignons under running water and peel off the outer skin. Then boil them whole in salted water for 5-7 minutes. Next, we take them out and let them cool. Slice them thinly.

Mixing ingredients: place chopped mushrooms in a well-heated pan with melted butter. Add sliced onions and bell pepper strips, season with spices, and fry for about 10 minutes. Add flour to the mixture and pour in milk in a thin stream. Stir constantly and simmer for about 3 minutes. Then add slices of scallops. Bring to a boil, sprinkle with herbs, and simmer for another minute.

Dish readiness: we check all ingredients for their readiness and taste quality. When we understand that everything is ready, we serve it with boiled rice.
