Breaded scallops with buckwheat, organic carrot purée from Plourin, cider sauce
Ingredients for the scallops
- 5 to 6 Brest or Roscoff scallops per person
- 200 g buckwheat or KASHA (easily found in organic stores)
- 100 g brown breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 2 egg yolks
- 100 g white flour
Preparation
- Mix buckwheat or kasha with brown breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs.
- Start breading the scallops: first put them in the flour, then in the egg yolk and finally in the buckwheat crumb mixture. The whole scallop should be covered with the buckwheat breadcrumbs.
- Preheat your deep-fat fryer to 160 degrees, then plunge in the scallops until they are nicely colored, or put some butter in a frying pan and fry the scallops for 2 minutes on each side.

- 1 onion
- 150 g butter

- Heat a saucepan with the butter. When the butter has melted, brown the carrots without browning. Pour in the water and cook slowly over low heat.

1 onion
10 cl cider vinegar
50cl cider
