Preparation

In a saucepan, heat oil and brown onion for 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with wine and reduce by one third. Add tomatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer over a low heat for 15 to 20 minutes until sauce is thick. Season to taste.

Meanwhile, in a frying pan, heat oil over a medium heat and cook garlic until golden and tender, around 10 minutes or so. Remove garlic and add to tomato sauce. Raise heat to high and sauté scallops quickly, 2 to 3 minutes. Season.

Divide scallops between 4 gratin dishes. Top with tomato sauce, cover with cheese and brown in the oven.

Serve with fresh pasta and green vegetables.
