This is a dish you’d often see on the menus at fancy restaurants and being charged an arm and a leg to enjoy. It is so easy to make and in this recipe, there is left over butter for you to use in other meals. I also hope this recipe shows how the Thermomix can be a wonderful kitchen tool, whereby you can whip up some restaurant-quality style dishes in the comfort of your home to wow guests or to spoil yourself with.<\/p>\n

Prep and Cooking Time –\u00a020 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>| Serves –\u00a02-4 as an entree<\/strong><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a03-5 cloves of garlic (subject to your taste)<\/div>\n
–\u00a0a few sprigs of curly parsley leaves<\/div>\n
–\u00a05-6 fresh basil leaves<\/div>\n
–\u00a0250g block of butter (I used organic), cubed<\/div>\n
–\u00a01 Tablespoon lemon juice<\/div>\n
– 500g fresh scallops, pat dried and roes removed<\/div>\n
– salt and pepper to season<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place garlic, parsley and basil leaves in to the TM bowl and chop\u00a03\u00a0sec \/ speed 7<\/strong>. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.<\/p>\n

\"KBD_7534\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Add cubed butter into the bowl and mix\u00a05 sec \/ speed 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"KBD_7535\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Transfer the butter onto a sheet of cling-wrap and use the cling-wrap to mould the butter into a roll. Then cut 2-3 discs of butter of approximately 1cm thickness. Reserve the remaining butter in the fridge.<\/p>\n

\"KBD_7542\"<\/a>Heat a shallow non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat and melt butter. Add lemon juice to the butter as its melting. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n

Place scallops into the frying pan on top of the melted butter, ensuring the scallops are not crowded in the pan. Sear the scallops undisturbed for approximately 2-4 minutes or until browned\u00a0on each side. The scallops are cooked\u00a0when they are almost firm to touch.<\/p>\n

Serve scallops while they are freshly cooked. When plating, scoop some of the butter from the pan and pour onto the scallops.<\/p>\n

NOTES AND VARIATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, there is excess butter left over in this recipe. This is intentional because it can be used for other delicious meals; place buttered discs on top of meats like chicken mignons and steaks, or season on top of vegetables.<\/p>\n

When sourcing scallops for this recipe, I would strongly suggest purchasing your scallops from a fishmonger for freshness, maximum taste and flavour.<\/p>\n
