In Old Boston Fare in Food and Pictures, historian and chef Jerome Rubin chronicled the culinary life of Boston in a photographic history of New England’s largest city and her people. The technique of “escalloping” is a classic preparation that usually involves cooking in a cream sauce and baking with a crumb topping. This is an adaptation of Rubin’s recipe for this traditional New England dish.

Serves 4

• 1 1/2 pints (3 cups) scallops

• 1 cup white wine

• 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

• 1 green pepper, coarsely chopped

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 4 tablespoons butter, divided

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1 cup cream or whole milk

• Buttered bread crumbs

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Poach the scallops in the wine for 3 minutes and reserve the liquid. Drain, cool, and cut the scallops in half horizontally.

3. Sauté the mushrooms, green pepper, and onion in 2 tablespoons of the butter until soft.

4. Make a white sauce by melting the remaining butter in a saucepan. When it’s melted, whisk in the flour and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the cream or milk and the reserved scallop liquid.

5. Gently combine the scallops, vegetables, and sauce in a casserole dish. Top with the bread crumbs and paprika, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
