We’ve given these lovely fresh scallops a dip in the miso dressing then a quick burst on the barbecue or sauté pan for more deliciousness.
INGREDIENTS
24 large fresh scallops (we used Sanford Seafoods)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Miso dressing
1/3 cup white miso
3 tablespoons each mirin and sake
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon togarashi
To serve
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
finely grated zest 1 lemon
1 spring onion, very finely chopped
METHOD
Equipment: 12 thin skewers.
Dressing: Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk over a low heat until smooth. Bring to the boil then simmer for
2 minutes. Cool completely.
Put the scallops in a shallow dish and add half the dressing, turning gently to coat well. Reserve the remaining dressing.
To cook: Thread the scallops onto skewers. Heat a little oil in
a sauté pan and when hot, add the skewers. Cook for 1 minute each side, or until just cooked through.
To serve: Place the scallop skewers on a serving plate. Whisk the oil and lemon juice into the remaining dressing then stir in the lemon zest and spring onion. Spoon over the scallops and serve immediately.
