Ingredients
- 12 scallops large
- ½ tick butter
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup white wine dry
- saffron threads, generous pinch
- ⅓ cup heavy cream or double cream or thickened cream
- parsley fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the scallops from the packaging and place them on kitchen paper to ensure they are dry.
- Place the half of the butter (¼ stick/30 g) and the olive oil into a non stick frying pan and melt over a medium high heat until it is starting to foam.
- Think of the frying pan as a clock and add the scallops to the foaming butter starting at 12 o'clock and then working around clockwise.
- Cook over a medium high heat for 1 ½ minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully, starting at 12 o'clock again, flip the scallops and cook for a further minute.
- Remove scallops from pan (starting at 12 o'clock again) and place them on a plate near the hob.
- Turn the heat to high and add the wine to the pan.
- Allow this to bubble for a couple of minutes, then reduce the heat and add the saffron.
- Stir well and whisk in the remaining butter (¼ stick/30 g).
- Once this has melted add the cream and whisk until slightly reduced and thickened.
- Return the scallops to the pan and serve garnished with parsley.
