Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Scallops, pancetta & parsley soup Make the parsley soup first. Combine potatoes, olive oil and fish stock in a pot and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add half the parsley and simmer for a further 8 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Add remaining parsley, then purée in a blender. Strain through a sieve and set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lay pancetta on a tray lined with baking paper and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until crispy. Cool, then chop into rough crumbs.

  3. Pat scallops dry on paper towels and season with salt and white pepper. Heat oil in a pan, add scallops and cook for 15-20 seconds on each side. Drain.

  4. To serve, reheat parsley soup and pour into 4 shot glasses. Top with a dollop of mascarpone, then a little salmon roe, if using. Skewer each scallop on a cocktail stick and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or truffle oil. Serve on shot glasses and garnish with crumbed pancetta and chives.
