Scallops, grilled or fried


Ingredients


  • 500g scallops
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped parsley
  • 1/2 c. cream
  • 1 tsp. chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper, lightly applied
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1/2 c. flour

Method


Drain, don't wash, scallops; leave them to stand in a mixture of cooking oil, lemon juice, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Drain well again and, if frying, dip them in a combination of eggs, flour, and cream.

Place scallops in a wire basket and fry in deep fat at 375 degrees until light brown. Place in 300 degree oven for a few minutes. If grilling, arrange scallops flat, not in layers, until lightly brown. Watch them to prevent over cooking.
