With Burns Night fast approaching, this week’s recipe is quintessentially Scottish, yet it’s a million miles away from traditional haggis, neeps and tatties.

Graced with such an astonishing natural larder, it’s sometimes easy to forget that Scotland has direct access to some of the globe’s finest sea food. So what better restaurant to provide a recipe than Edinburgh’s Ondine? These scallops from Chef Patron Roy Brett are relatively simple to prepare at home and make for an impressive starter or light main to celebrate the Birthday of one of Scotland’s most beloved national treasures.

Ingredients
For the Shony Butter

Small Shallot, 1, finely sliced

Soft unsalted butter, 4tbsp

Lemon, zest

Dill or fennel bronze, a small bunch

Pastis, a good splash

For the Scallops

Medium scallops, 4, shucked, cleaned, shells reserved and cleaned

Unsalted butter, 10g, softened

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Puff pastry, 150g, cut into strips 2cmx30cm

Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper

Free-range egg, 1, beaten

To Garnish

Maldon rock salt

Sea purslane

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

To make the butter simply mix all the ingredient together and adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required. Set aside.

Brush the scallops all over with the softened butter and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the butter onto four bottom halves of the shells, and place a scallop on top. Season with the salt and pepper,

Place the other half of the shell on top of each scallop, and wrap each puff pastry strip carefully right around the gap where the shells meet. The seal is important as it will lock in all the juices and flavour as the scallop cooks. The scallop will steam in the shell, cooking very gently and evenly. If the seal is not tight enough then the heat from the oven will enter the shell and overcook the it.

Brush the pastry and top of the shell with the beaten egg.

Place the scallops onto a baking tray, standing each one on a ring of scrunched foil to keep them level, and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.

Serve on a bed of Maldon rock salt and sea purslane.
