BARBECUED SCALLOPS RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Put your lentils in a saucepan, add the garlic and sage, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the lentils are just cooked.
  2. Drain the lentils in a colander and throw away the garlic and sage. Season with salt, pepper and a lug of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Wash your scallops and pat dry with kitchen paper. Put four scallops at a time on to wooden skewers. Starting at one end, loosely wrap three pieces of pancetta in and around them.
  4. Place the kebabs on a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season lightly. Cook on a hot barbecue for about 10 minutes, turning three or four times until they're crispy and golden on the outside and warm all the way through.
  5. Serve with the lentils, some watercress dressed in the lemon juice and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.
