Scallops & Avocado Tartare

The majority of my recipes are made using affordable (yet still good quality) products, and I know you're thinking "how are scallops affordable?". This dish would have never happened had it not been for the 20% discount Waitrose does every Friday on fish. ​

Serves Two

Ingredients

4 Scallops 
1 Ripe Avocado
Juice from 1 lime 
Salt & Pepper 
Butter (for Scallops)

Directions 

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and cut into dices.
2. In a bowl, place the avocado, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix well. 
3. Heat a teaspoon of butter in a non-stick pan, when the foam from the butter disappears place the scallops in. Sear on both sides till they look brown and crispy.
4. Place the avocado in two plates, top with two scallops each and sprinkle a bit of pepper. 

Buon Appetito!
