  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 200 g mixed leaf salad
  • a handful dill
  • 125 g chorizo
  • 12 scallops (prepped)
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk the Pils with lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Taste and set aside. Wash, trim, dry, and tear the salad into small pieces; divide onto four plates. Rinse dill, shake dry, and cut off the tips; sprinkle over the salad.

    Remove skin from chorizo, dice finely, and crisp in a non-stick pan without added fat. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3.

    Wash scallops and pat dry. Heat clarified butter in the pan and sear scallops about ½ minute per side until light brown. Drizzle dressing over salad, arrange three scallops each, and sprinkle with chorizo cubes before serving.
