Asparagus, jersey royals, scallop, marmite butter by Steve Groves.
This dish is something I love to serve in the spring when it starts to warm up a little bit, it can be a lovely sharing dish and whilst here I have used scallops I will generally use all sorts of shellfish, prawns in the shells and crab are other favourites. I like to serve it with some crusty bread to mop up that delicious butter.
Ingredients
Method
Cook the Jersey royals in a pan covered with salted water until tender, strain and set aside.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, cook the asparagus spears until tender.
In a frying pan heat a little sunflower oil over a high heat.
Pat the scallops dry with kitchen paper, season with salt and place the flattest side down in the pan, cook for a minute or so to get a nice golden brown crust, turn over and reduce to a medium heat, add the butter followed by the garlic lightly crushed.
Cook for a minute or so and remove the scallops, season the butter with a fine grating of lemon zest a squeeze of juice then the marmite.
Toss the potatoes, asparagus, parsley and scallops through the butter and serve immediately.
