Steps:
- Prepare the scallops by patting with a paper towel and placing on a plate, uncovered, in the fridge till ready to use. This allows them to get really dry while you prep the cauliflower.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place cauliflower florets and garlic cloves in a single layer on a sheet pan, tossing with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile heat olive oil and butter (or ghee) in a large skillet or cast iron pan on medium high heat. Get the pan hot (but not smoking) so you'll get a nice sear right away. Space the scallops out so they sear and don't steam, even if it means cooking in batches. Sprinkle the scallops with pepper but hold off on the salt to taste - I personally don't season mine as I find them naturally salty.
- Add the scallops and don't touch them for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Check one to see if a nice brown crust has formed. If so, turn and leave them for about 60-90 seconds more. Remove scallops from pan and set aside.
- Meanwhile, toss the roasted cauliflower and garlic into a food processor or blender. Add warm milk and blend, using a tamper to press down and get it nice and smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Spoon the cauliflower puree onto a plate and place scallops on top. Garnish with parsley. See the recipe notes for an extra sauce idea!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F and place the bacon on a tray lined with baking parchment.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until very crispy. If your bacon is quite fatty, you may need to drain the fat halfway through. Reserve on kitchen paper towel.
- Place the cauliflower into a saucepan with enough milk to just cover it.
- Bring the milk to a boil and simmer on a low heat for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft. Leave to cool.
- Purée the mixture until smooth. Sieve for extra smoothness.
- Place back into the saucepan to reheat.
- Season liberally with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pat the scallops dry with kitchen paper. This is the key to allow them to become crispy.
- Place a frying pan on medium-high heat and add a generous tablespoon of butter.
- Allow the butter to melt and the pan to get hot.
- Fry the scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side depending on the size. The scallops above are quite large so they were 2 minutes each side. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your frying pan.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper while in the pan.
- Squeeze the bacon in the paper towel into create little bits.
- Chop the parsley.
- Dish out the reheated cauliflower purée to just cover the bottom of your plate. Next, place the scallops on the plate with the garnish. It helps if you have an extra pair of hands to assist with this step.
- Drizzle with good quality olive oil and serve with crisp white wine.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CHORIZO & CAULIFLOWER PUREE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Begin the puree by melting the butter in a small sauce pan. Add the onion and shallot, sauté for a few minutes. Next add the apple and cauliflower and sweat off for a further 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the chicken stock, cover, and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. In the mean time make the chorizo dust by adding the finely chopped sausage to a hot non-stick fry pan. When the fat has started to render off, turn the heat down and let them sizzle away until darkened and crispy. Drain on absorbent paper towel and cool, before transferring to a food processor (or pestle and mortar) and pulsing until resembling fine crumbs. When the cauliflower is tender, allow to cool before transferring pot's contents into the jug of a blender. Cover, and puree on high, then low for 1-2 minutes, until smooth. With the motor still running, add the hazelnut meal then drizzle in the oil and the cream. Return to the pot, check seasoning, and reheat. In a non-stick fry pan, heat a little butter until sizzling. Imagine the pan is a clock face and each scallop is a number. Starting at '12' place one scallop, before following with '1', '2', etc. By the time you've worked your way around, the first scallop will be ready to turn, then each one after that. It sounds like a really weird method but if you just throw them all in the pan in any old order, it's easy to forget which one hit the heat first and they can very easily over cook. The scallops take roughly 45 seconds each side and should be served with the centre still opaque. Spread a little puree onto each plate, then top with the scallops. Sprinkle over the chorizo dust, garnish with the micro sage and serve.

Steps:
- Put cauliflower, shallot, stock, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup water into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is soft, 15 to 18 minutes. Working in batches, puree in a food processor, filling no more than 2/3 full each time. Season with salt and pepper. Cauliflower puree can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss Jerusalem artichokes in a medium bowl with about 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt, separating rounds with your fingers. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until light golden brown and crisp, 10 to 20 minutes, checking often and transferring slices to a plate as they brown. Set plate above or near oven to keep warm.
- Stir together parsley, chives, and capers in a small bowl. Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons oil, and stir. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Set relish aside.
- Preheat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heat. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Add scallops, and turn to coat. Toss with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Squeeze lemon over scallops. Broil until scallops are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Spoon 1/2 cup cauliflower puree onto each of 4 plates, and top with 3 scallops. Drizzle with relish, and sprinkle with salt. Top with Jerusalem artichoke chips; serve.
