Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Pan-fried scallops with crisp pancetta
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard and vinegar for the salad dressing. Season with black pepper. Divide the watercress between each plate and drizzle with the dressing.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crème fraîche with half the lemon juice. Set aside.
- Heat a dry frying pan until hot. Add the pancetta and fry for 2 minutes until it begins to release some fat, then add the scallops and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, until opaque and just cooked through. Add the remaining lemon juice to the pan.
- Place 3 scallops on each plate of watercress, spooning over the pancetta and pan juices. Serve with the lemon crème fraîche and garnish with the zest.
