I got this recipe off the UKTV website (and modified it slightly) and it is absolutely delicious on it’s own as a starter, or as a side to a nice lemon-marinated salmon fillet. It’s such a simple dish too, and the flavours are exhilarating.

Ingredients

  • Finely diced bread
  • 50g butter
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Scallops
  • Chopped chives

For the dressing:

  • 2tbsp Ground nut oil
  • 175ml sunflower oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 shallot
  • 1tsp English mustard
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 2tbsp white wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Heat white wine vinegar, nut oil, sunflower oil, garlic, shallot and mustard, cook for 5 minutes. Season salt & pepper.
  2. Whilst that is doing, 25g butter in frying pan. Add finely diced bread and fry until crispy. Drain on plate with kitchen paper.
  3. 25g butter in frying pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked.
  4. Serve lettuce on plate, put scallops on top and sprinkle with croutons. Top with the dressing. Sprinkle with chives.
