Ingredients:-

  • 110 grams chorizo
  • 400 grams small scallops (halve them to make 2 thinner discs if they are very fat)
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method:-

  • Slice the chorizo into rounds no thicker than 3mm / 1/8 inch.
  • Heat a heavy-based pan on the hob and, when hot, dry-fry the chorizo round until crisped on either side (the chorizo will give out plenty of its own oil); this should take no more than 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chorizo to a bowl and fry the scallops in the chorizo-oil for about 1 minute a side.
  • Return the chorizo to the pan with the scallops, add the lemon juice and let bubble for a few seconds before arranging on a serving plate and sprinkling with lots of parsley.
