Ingredients
-
-
70g ghee
-
1 vanilla pod
-
50ml vermouth
-
150ml shellfish or fish stock
-
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
-
1 shallot, peeled and halved
-
1 tbsp fresh dill
-
fresh chives
-
salt & pepper to taste
-
oil (for frying)
Directions
Add the vermouth, vanilla, white wine vinegar and shallot to a small sauce pan, and heat until it boils, reducing it by about half
Add the fish stock, boil again and reduce by about 2/3, remove the onion
Lower the heat and add the ghee, stir until it melts
Finely chop the herbs, add them to the pan, test for seasoning, you’ll want to add at least a little salt. Keep warm over a very low heat while you fry the scallops
In a non-stick pan, heat a little olive oil, get the heat medium high, pat dry the scallops & season with salt, then add to the pan for 2-3 minutes, don’t move them too much, let them gently brown
When they have browned on one side, flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes
Serve on a warm plate and drizzle with the dressing
