Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion and parsley very slowly, about 10 minutes, until the onion just begins to color.

  2. Step 2

    Add the saffron, cook for a minute or two, then add the scallops and continue cooking over medium heat until the scallops are done, about five minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the ham and wine, lower the heat and cook for a minute or so until the sauce is slightly thickened. Serve right away.
