Scallops are impossible to resist on restaurant menus but cooked at home they’re cheaper and taste just as good. In this recipe, scallops are first seared in oil, then roasted briefly with Parmesan and chives for a golden, savory finish.
Ingredients
- 12 scallops, cleaned and roe removed
- 50g Parmesan, grated
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 50ml groundnut oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan).
- Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over a high heat
- Season the scallops with sea salt and black pepper.
- Top each scallop with a little grated Parmesan and chopped chives.
- Sear the scallops in the hot oil for 30 seconds.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the scallops are springy to the touch.
