Ingredients
- 6 prepared scallops
- 160g frozen peas
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 50g chorizo, cut into even sized chunks
- salt and black pepper
- rocket leaves, to garnish
Instructions
- Boil the peas according to the pack instructions then drain well. Add half the butter, blitz with a hand blender, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the chorizo and gently fry until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
- Turn up the heat and add the remaining butter to the pan. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Move the frying pan like a clock face. When you came back to the top turn the scallops over. They only take around a minute to cook on each side (depending on how big they are).
- Spoon the pea puree onto two plates, then arrange with the chorizo and scallops. Drizzle over the remaining oil from the pan and garnish with a few rocket leaves.
