Pan Fried Scallops and Red Pepper Mousse Recipe

So I did this dish the other night for some of my clients, and they really loved it

Ingredients

3 scallops per person
Olive oil
Lemon Juice
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 char grilled red peppers, skinned and seeds removed
50ml vegetable stock

 Method

Once the red peppers have been skinned and seeded, place them into a bowl, and using a stick blender, blend them until they are smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and it you want the consistency a little more runny, add the vegetable stock a bit at a time, and blend it through until you reach the desired consistency. You can also do this is in a food blender. Place it in a bowl and set it a side

Heat up a frying pan to a medium to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil in it. Pan fry the scallops until they have a golden colour on each side. Add the garlic and drizzle the scallops with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let the scallops cook for a little longer, until they start to caramelize on each side

When you are ready to serve, warm up the red pepper mousse, and serve the scallops on the mousse
