Photography by Nick Tresidder.
Serves: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
500 grams fresh scallops
knob of butter
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Brown butter and hazelnuts
1/4 cup hazelnuts
100 grams butter
2 spring onions, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
To serve
4-6 scallop shells
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Brown butter: Put the hazelnuts in a baking dish and roast until golden and the skins have started to blister. Tip into a clean tea towel and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Chop roughly.
Put the butter in a small saucepan and cook over a medium heat until a dark golden colour with a lovely nutty aroma. Add the nuts, spring onions, lemon juice and flat-leaf parsley.
To cook: Wipe the scallops with a wet kitchen towel if necessary and carefully cut off the tough band that runs around the outside. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Melt the butter in a saut. pan and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until only just cooked through. Pile the scallops into the shells and spoon over the warm hazelnut butter.
