Ingredients

  • 50 g parsley root (1 parsley root)
  • 50 g onions (1 onion)
  • 1 tbsp sprouting oil
  • 2 fennel bulbs
  • Salt
  • 6 scallops (ready‑to‑cook)
  • Pepper
  • 50 ml whipping cream

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel the parsley root and onion, then slice each thinly on a mandoline.

  2. 2.

    Heat ½ Tbsp oil in a pot. Sauté the parsley root and onion until fragrant. Cover and steam over medium heat for 3 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Meanwhile wash and trim the fennel. Set aside the fronds and slice the bulb thinly on a mandoline.

  4. 4.

    Add the fennel to the pot with the other vegetables, lightly salt, add 100 ml water, cover and steam over medium heat for about 7 minutes.

  5. 5.

    While the fennel cooks, rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels.

  6. 6.

    Heat the remaining oil in a skillet. Quickly sear the scallops on both sides over high heat, season with salt and pepper, then reduce to low heat and cook for about 2 minutes. Finish by covering and letting rest on a turned‑off burner for 1–2 minutes.

  7. 7.

    Add cream to the vegetables, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper. Plate the scallops over the vegetable mixture and sprinkle fennel fronds on top.
