Scallops & black pudding


This dish is just amazing and maybe a little restauranty, but if you want a little treat try it.

Ingredients:
  • 3 Large scallops in the shell per person (ask the fish monger to take them out of the shell for you)
  • 1 slice of black pudding (preferably stornaway black pudding) cut into small cubes
  • 1 Cauliflower (this will give about 4/5 servings)
  • 1 ltr Milk
  • 12 Mini capers per person
  • Micro herbs
  • Seasoning malden sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper


Method:

  • Cook cauliflower in the milk until mushy strain and puree with hand blender
  • Fry your capers in a little olive oil until crispy (this takes about 30 seconds)
  • Cut your black pudding into small cubes and grill until hot
  • Season and Cook you scallops in a frying pan with olive oil. 2 minutes on each side on a medium heat
  • Now your ready to plate as you can see from the picture the dish is just garnished with the micro herbs. I've used chard as this gives a slight bitter taste to contrast against the sweet scallop flavour. 

   Tips & hints: when the scallops are just about ready squeeze a little lemon and a knob of butter and spoon over each scallop.
