INGREDIENTS:    ​
  • 2 medium tomatoes (300g), peeled, seeded and chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon EVOO
  • 1 tablespoon verjuice (substitute white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chervil leaves (substitute fresh parsley or tarragon or a combination of the two)
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
  • 24 scallops on the half shell, roe removed

PEA PUREE

  • 2 tablespoons hot water (approx.)

​METHOD:
  1. Make pea puree
  2. Combine tomato, oil, verjuice, chervil and rind in a medium bowl.
  3. Remove scallops from shells, wash and dry shells. Spoon pea puree into shells.
  4. Heat oiled large frypan, cook scallops for about 30 seconds each side, or until lightly browned but still soft in the centre.

TO MAKE THE PEA PUREE
