Ingredients

50g Extra Special Cranberry Sauce with Port

15g salted butter

10ml red wine vinegar

12 Slices of Extra Special Smoked Pancetta

12 Extra Special shell-on King Scallops (or Fish Counter King Scallops)

1 tbsp olive oil

32 Outer Brussels sprout leaves

Method

1
Combine cranberry sauce, butter and red wine vinegar and bring to the boil. Leave to cool.
2
If using shell-on King Scallops, remove the shell and roe. Roll the pancetta between sheets of baking parchment, and then wrap a slice around the outer edge of each scallop so it just overlaps. Cut off any excess.
3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan. Fry the scallops, pancetta side down, turning until the pancetta is crisp. Finish cooking them top side until the flesh turns golden. Drain on kitchen paper before serving.
4
Separate the sprouts into individual leaves. Grill raw sprout leaves in a hot pan until wilted and charred. Season.
5
Drizzle the dressing on plates. Add 3 scallops to each plate. Scatter the chargrilled sprouts over the top and serve.
