Scallop & Wild Rice Pies

This is one of my favorite thanksgiving dishes to bring to the family dinner! It's always the first dish to be emptied! Happy eating!
Scallop Recipe from Lobster Gram
Ingredients
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 5 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1 pound dry sea scallops, drained well
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup Riesling or other white wine
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked wild rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Directions
Pulse first 3 ingredients in a food processor 3 or 4 times or until combined. Add butter and shortening, and pulse 5 or 6 times or until crumbly. With processor running, gradually add 5 tablespoons water, and process until dough forms a ball and separates from sides of bowl, adding more water if necessary. Cover and chill. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot; sauté 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Remove mushroom mixture from skillet; set aside. Add scallops to skillet; sauté 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Whisk together cornstarch and wine in a bowl. Combine cornstarch mixture, cream, and cheese in a large skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in mushroom mixture, scallops, rice, and remaining ingredients. Set aside and keep warm. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half to 1/8-inch thickness. Place one half of dough in bottom of a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish. Spoon scallop mixture over crust. Place other half of dough over filling, pinching to seal edges. Cut slits in top of crust with a knife. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until crust is lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
