To make my orange dusted scallops
1. Zest the orange and place on a sheet of non stick parchment paper
2. Dry in the airing cupboard or in the oven on low until crispy.
3. Then grind with a pestle and mortar, mix in the paparika and use to dust the scallops.
4. Then melt the butter in the pan, season the scallops and cook on high for 1 ½ minutes on each side
For the summer crushed peas
1. Melt the butter in a pan, add the bacon and chopped spring onions and cook for 3 – 4 minutes
2. Then add the cooked peas and sugar, season to taste and crush until mushy.
3. To make the minted cream, sweat the onion in the butter, then add the chicken stock and white wine and bring to a simmer. Next add the mint and reduce by half.
4. Add the cream and simmer for a further 2 – 3 minutes. Then blitz with a hand blender until fluffy and season with salt and pepper.
5. To serve, place a mould in the centre of the plat, fill with the pea puree and press down to retain its shape. Then remove the mould, place orange dusted scallops on top and drizzle with the mint cream.
6.
Finally garnish with crispy bacon, deep fried celery leaves and a sprig of fresh mint.
