Black Garlic Scallops and Chorizo

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 7-8 mins | Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 250g small queen scallops*
  • 50g chorizo sausage – finely diced
  • 5 cloves Black Garlic – finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp sherry
 
Garnish
 
  • Lemon wedges

Method

  • Pat the scallops dry with kitchen towel.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo pieces, fry for 1 – 2 minutes.
  • Add the scallops and Black Garlic to the frying pan. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the scallops are cooked through.
  • Sprinkle in fresh parsley and chives.
  • Add the juice of half a lemon.
  • Add the sherry to the frying pan. Turn the heat up and cook for 1 minute.
 
To Serve: serve immediately with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the top.
 
Top Tip: room temperature lemons give more juice. Roll the lemon on a board before squeezing to release the juices. Frozen scallops* (defrosted and drained) also work well in this recipe.
