Ingredients

  • 4 scallops (ready to cook, no shell)
  • 2 parsley roots
  • 200 ml fish stock
  • 100 ml White wine
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 20 ml Noilly Prat
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 250 g Peas (frozen)
  • 400 ml Vegetable broth
  • 0.5 bunch Basil
  • 50 ml milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • black truffle (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash scallops and pat dry.

  2. 2.

    Peel parsley roots, cut into sticks or grate, blanch in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until firm.

  3. 3.

    Add fish stock and white wine to a pot and reduce by about one third. Then add cream and Noilly Prat, season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4.

    Simmer peas in vegetable broth for 5-6 minutes, then drain (use broth elsewhere). Blend with hot milk and chopped basil until smooth. Strain through a sieve. If needed, add more milk or broth. Stir in one tablespoon cold butter and season with salt.

  5. 5.

    Sear scallops slowly in not-too-hot butter (one tablespoon) on both sides for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6.

    Similarly toss parsley root sticks in remaining hot butter. Plate on warmed dishes. Place scallops on top, add a dollop of pea purée beside each. Mix sauce and swirl foam around the vegetables. Optionally shave black truffle over scallops and garnish with fried parsley root sticks.
