Seared Scallops with Chorizo & Vanilla Yogurt Dressing

Serves 2.

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp  extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of 1/2 small orange
• 100g Tims Dairy Greek style vanilla yogurt
• A sprinkle of finely chopped tarragon
• 25g butter
• 100g cooked chorizo, sliced in half, lengthwise
• 4 large scallops, trimmed
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• A touch of finely chopped red chilli
• Juice from 1 lime
• ½ bunch coriander, chopped finely
• Sea salt & freshly grounded black pepper to taste

Vanilla yogurt dressing.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, orange juice, yogurt, tarragon, salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.

Seared scallops & chorizo.

Heat the butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, tossing until it starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add the scallops and sear them for about 1 min until golden, then flip them over and sprinkle over the garlic and chopped fresh red chilli into the pan. Cook for about 1 min more, then squeeze over the juice of the lime. Finish off with roughly chopped coriander and salt and pepper.

To Serve:

Drizzle over the vanilla yogurt dressing and serve straight away. Warm sourdough baguette will help soak up all the surrounding juices!
