Apple, Scallop and Chorizo Warm Salad
- 4 eating apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8
- 50g butter
- Pinch of sugar
- 200g chopped bacon
- 12 large scallops, with roe
- 200g chorizo, sliced
- 100g rocket leaves
- For the Dressing
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp white wine vinegar
- 5 tsp olive oil
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, season well and set aside. Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the apples, sugar and some seasoning. Toss to coat, then cook for 8 minutes until soft and just caramelised. Meanwhile, fry the chopped bacon in a separate pan until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Turn up the heat on the pan with the bacon fat, and add the scallops to sear for 2 mins, seasoning as they cook. Flip them over, season again, and toss the chorizo into the pan. Cook for 2 mins more, then remove everything to a plate and set aside. Arrange the rocket leaves on serving plates, and top with the scallops, chorizo, apples and crispy bacon pieces. Drizzle with the dressing, and serve immediately.
