Seaside Scallops
Let’s make simple seaside scallops
Ingredients
2 scallops/person
marinade: grated garlic, melted butter, olive oil, parsley, dill, salt, pepper, bread crumbs
Finely chopped chili
grated Parmesan
Begin by drying each scallop with kitchen paper. Then make a marinade for them. In a bowl, add melted butter, grated garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, chopped parsley and dill, salt and pepper. Roll the scallops in the marinade and place each individual scallop onto a small oven proof dish (I used a scallop shell). Pour the rest of the marinade on top of each scallop. On top of each scallop, add finely chopped chili and grated parmesan. Place into an oven 200 Celsius degrees for 10 minutes. Serve piping hot with a lemon slice and fresh bread that you can use to scrape all the delicious juices.
We took a lovely day trip to Hanko, a lovely seaside summer city outside of Helsinki. We had lunch, icecream, did some shopping and relaxed on the long sandy beaches enjoying the sunshine. When we came home, we wanted to cook something delicious but easy so had some scallops for starters. I always serve scallops on their own shells as I think they are beautiful like that, and I love this hand painted lobster plate from Grottaglie, Italy. I picked some fresh draping flowers for our table setting, put some candles on and cooked together as a family.
