3) Meanwhile, cut your scallops into dices of 2cm a side. Pan fry them with a nob of butter and a tsp of olive oil on a high heat for a minutes. When done, strain the scallops (keep the cooking juice) and set them aside.
4) Blitz your mushroom cream in which you added the scallops cooking juices. Check the seasoning and rectify if needed.

The different textures and flavours make of the recipe a fine and delicious starter.
