About the Recipe
A lovely and tasty dish that doesn't take long to prepare and requires minimal preparation...
Ingredients
25g butter
8 large scallops (roe off)
80g bacon or speck (cut into lardons)
½ brown onion finely sliced
1 bunch asparagus (cut into 5cm lengths)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt and black pepper to season
Soft bread rolls to serve
Preparation
Heat a large frying pan or wok over a high heat and add a little of the butter.
Sear the scallops for a minute or two on each side until just barely cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Add the bacon to the pan and fry until lightly browned, then remove and add to the scallops.
Add the onion and remaining butter. Toss the onion for a minute until softened, then add the asparagus and toss for about two minutes until the asparagus is just cooked. Add the vinegar and season generously with black pepper and a touch of salt, if needed.
Return the bacon and scallops to the pan and toss to combine, then remove to a plate and serve with bread to mop up the buttery juices.
