  • Add the tomato sauce and oregano. Keep on low heat and cover.

  • Coat the scallops in flour on both sides…

  • And fry them in hot oil, first on one side and then the other. As they are ready, place them on paper to drain excess fat

  • If they don’t cook well, don’t worry, a light browning is needed, otherwise the meat becomes tougher.

  • After finishing, transfer the scaloppine to the sauce, and complete the cooking by adjusting the salt.

  • A prolonged cooking is not necessary, but if you have time, leave them a few more minutes on low heat.

  • The very fragrant sauce, especially if at the end you add another clove of raw, chopped garlic and a teaspoon of oregano. Mopping up the sauce with bread is mandatory!

They keep in the fridge and can also be frozen as a ready-made dish for busy days.
