From Sainsbury’s<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A perfect balancing act between delicate scallops, bold pancetta and a fresh, zingy dressing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Serves: 8
\nPreparation time: 5 Minutes
\nCooking time: 5 Minutes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h4>\n

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
\n\u00bd teaspoon Dijon mustard
\n1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
\n100g cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche
\nZest & juice 1 lemon<\/p>\n

75g fresh watercress, leaves picked, thick stalks discarded
\n100g Cubetti Di Pancetta
\n24 fresh scallops from the fresh fish counter, roes removed (keep them on if you like)
\nFreshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method:<\/h4>\n

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard and vinegar. Season with black pepper.<\/p>\n

In a separate bowl, mix the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche with half the lemon juice. Set aside. Divide the watercress between each plate and drizzle with the dressing.<\/p>\n

Heat a dry frying pan until hot. Add the pancetta and fry for 2 minutes until it begins to release some fat, then add the scallops and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, until opaque and just cooked through. Add the remaining lemon juice to the pan.<\/p>\n

Place 3 scallops on each plate of watercress, spooning over the pancetta and pan juices.<\/p>\n

Serve with the lemon cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche and garnish with the zest.<\/p>\n
