Method :
• Put the rice on to cook in plenty of boiling
water, adding the lemon zest and one teaspoon stock powder to flavour
it. Cook until tender – about 12 minutes
• Meanwhile, place a sage leaf on top of each
scallop and wrap half a slice of Parma Ham around each one
• Heat the butter in a frying pan and add the
Parma Ham-wrapped scallops, cooking them for about two minutes before
turning them over to cook the other side. Add the Marsala, two
tablespoons of hot water and the pinch of stock powder. Simmer for
two or three minutes to reduce the liquid a little
• Drain the cooked rice and stir through the
chopped herbs. Serve with the scallops, along with the cooking juices |
