Ingredients
- 12 scallops large
- 1 shallot large
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 1 green apple Granny Smith is my recommendation
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- butter knob
- sea salt freshly cracked black pepper
- black pepper freshly cracked black pepper
- parsley large handful; fresh
- 2 lettuce I used the leaves from a round lettuce, handfuls of leaves
Instructions
- Start by drying the scallops. Lay them out on kitchen paper and gently blot the top.
- Zest the lemon and set it aside.
- Finely slice the shallot and place in a small jug with the EVOO, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Cut the apple into quarters, remove the core and slice into thin strips. Place it in a non-reactive bowl and pour over the dressing.
- Place a heavy bottomed frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once it is hot, add the butter and carefully add the scallops. Sear for 2 minutes until nicely golden. Then carefully flip them over and cook for a further minute.
- Transfer the scallops to the serving dish. Season with salt, pepper and some of the reserved lemon zest.
- Roughly chop the parsley and add it along with the lettuce leaves to the dressing. Turn to coat and then arrange next to the scallops.
- Serve immediately
