Capesante Gratinate (Scallop Gratin)

Preparation time
Cooking time
Serves
2 as an entrée

Ingredients

4 live scallops

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 small red chilli, finely chopped

1/2 bunch of flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, roughly chopped

25g (1/4 cup) dried breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan

Wedge of lemon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to very hot (250°C).

2. Use a small sharp knife to prise open the scallop. Cut along the surface of the flat shell – this will release the scallop.

3. Remove the flat shell. Cut the body of the scallop to separate it from the shell. Remove the mantle, gills and intestines – you want just the muscle and coral to remain. Also remove the side muscle, which sits on the opposite side of the scallop to the coral.

4. Combine all the other ingredients except the lemon – be generous with olive oil, the mixture should be quite wet.

5. Cover each scallop with some of this mixture, place on a baking tray and bake for 2 minutes.

6. Squeeze a little lemon over before serving.
