seared scallops and pear

with white balsamic dressing

  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 2½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 scallops on the half shell, roe removed
  • 1 nashi pear, cut into matchsticks
  • ¼ cup chervil leaves
  • lime wedges, to serve 
  1. Place the vinegar, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside. 
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook the scallops for 30 seconds each side or until golden brown. Return to the shells.

Wine note: the deliciously rich palette and sweet finish of this meal pairs perfectly with the Cloudy Bay Pelorus, NV.
