Scallops
I have always fancied trying scallops.
I am going to get a bag from a supermarket, but what would I have with them? |

Little bit of creamy mash with parsley. But check here http://www.realsimple.com/food-recip...callop-recipes |

They are smallish ones, so I have decided to have them with creamy mash, crispy bacon strips, sage, black pepper, butter and lemon.
It's a Jamie Oliver recipe. |

I do a dollop of pea puree, a disc of fried black pudding, put the cooked scallop on top and then finish with some crumbled crisp bacon. 3 of those make a lovely starter.

I just hope I like them. I want to eat more seafood rather than meat.
I like fish but have never tried anything else. I couldn't bring myself to try squid or octopus, but I am open to trying most other types of seafood. |

Lightly fry with some prawns - stir in some Philadelphia and chilli flakes and serve with linguine.

I made it last week. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3...-in-four-steps Sainsbury's do a frozen pack of salmon, cod and smoked pollock - £3.50 for about 350 grams. You'll get a good meal for two from that. Lovely comfort food

My local chippy do 8 scallops for £1.50. Lovely with lashings of salt and vinegar.

A lightly spiced and thin curry sauce. You don't want to overpower them.

Otherwise I like them with prawns, onion and mushrooms in a creamy white wine or sherry sauce, with some nice crusty bread to dip into. |

Well, I had them yesterday and I found that the bacon overpowered them, so I cannot say much about the taste of them.
I will try them again but next time I will get some better quality ones from my local fishmonger. |

Bacon bits first in olive oil, then the scallops with the bacon pushed to one side with sage as per a Jamie Oliver recipe.
Just fried the scallops for a few minutes literally. |

500ml of fish stock, 500ml of white white, big pinch of saffron.
Boil fiercely till it has reduced to 1/3 or even a 1/4 of it's volume. Turn down, add butter (50g but I'n guessing) and double cream (you know, a good long glug ) , then pop in the small scallops for a couple of minutes. (or cut up scallops if large) Serve over linguine with some fresh basil leaves. Ummmm... (Rick Stein recipe and one of my wife's favourites) |
