Ingredients
Method
For the tacos, mix together to form a dry dough. Roll out as thinly as possible. Use a pastry cutter to stamp out discs. Deep fry until crisp.
To make the Guacamole, put everything into a blender and blitz to a smooth purée.
For the chilies, bring everything to the boil and pour over the chilies.
Shuck and clean the scallops, discarding the roes. Slice the scallops thinly and lay the slices on a tray. Stir the onion, juices and oil together, taste for seasoning then pour over the scallops.
To serve
Place a few scallop slices on each taco, along with some of the onion. Pipe on a few dots of guacamole, top with pickled chilies and coriander cress.
