Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Grease 4 individual ovenproof serving dishes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Divide the scallops evenly among the dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Core and seed the red and green peppers and cut them into thin strips about 1 ½ inches long.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onions, garlic and peppers. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until wilted. Add the tomatoes, olives, oregano, fennel, wine, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the mixture evenly over the scallops. Dot with the cheese and place in the oven. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
