Recipe Introduction


This was a lovely entree to a three course meal served in the garden with a blue checked cloth on the table.





List of Ingredients



• 1-3 scallops per person (depending on their size)
  
• 1 slice french stick per person (if you want to be more delicate and have small portions trim it or use a cookie cutter)
  
• olive oil
  
• butter
  
• fresh garlic
  
• 1 nectarine
  
• handful of rocket
  
• french dressing (homemade please so it's not overpowering of the scallops. )
  






Instructions



1. Slice nectarine and combine with rocket tossing in a small amount of dressing.
   
2. Melt butter with olive oil in pan with some crushed garlic (or finely chopped)
   
3. Fry bread 30 seconds each side.
   
4. Rub bread with a halved garlic clove and place in a cool (150C) oven for 5-10 minutes.
   
5. Place scallops in the pan (removing garlic only if it is burnt) and fry for 1 min each side.
   
6. Serve croutons topped with scallops and sprinkled with black pepper.
   
7. Arrange salad over and around it and drizzle with extra dressing if desired.
