Scallops with white port and garlic

Ingredients: 

3 disco scallops, with shells  
75 ml white wine  
50 g fine breadcrumbs  
90 g garlic butter  
50 ml olive oil  
3 sprigs tarragon  

For the garlic butter: 

150 g butter, at room temperature  
30 g peeled garlic  
1 salted anchovy fillet  
Dash of Pernod  
50 g flat-leaf parsley  
Tiny dash of Tabasco  
 

Method: 

Make the garlic butter:

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the butter except the butter itself. Blitz until smooth. Add the butter and blend until fully combined.  

Assemble:  

Place 1 sprig of tarragon in each scallop shell.  

Lay the scallop on top of the tarragon, presentation side up (the flat, larger surface).  

Evenly divide the garlic butter over each scallop.  

Pour 25 ml white wine over each scallop.  

Sprinkle breadcrumbs lightly over the scallop - they should just start to soak up the wine. 

Drizzle with olive oil to prevent the breadcrumbs from burning.  

Cook:

Bake in your oven at 250 °C for 2.5 minutes.  

Serve:

With a wedge of lemon.
