I learned the art of wine reduction from a cooking class...the flavor is fabulous! Despite the fancy title, pan-fried scallops are easy to prepare. —Katherine Robinson, Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sea scallops

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
