Scallops with a Herb &
Parmesan Crust
Instructions:
Place the scallops in their shells onto a heavy based baking tray.
Pre-heat the grill to medium
Add the bread, parsley, spring onion chunks, garlic, lemon zest, parmesan cheese and pepper to a food processor and blend until a breadcrumb consistency.
Divide the breadcrumb mixture equally across the top of each scallop. Spray lightly with the rapeseed oil.
Place under the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and the scallops are cooked.
Serve straight away with a mixed green salad.
NB: I have not used salt in this recipe as the parmesan cheese will take care of that!
