Martin Bosley's Scallop Recipe To Match Chardonnay

Scallops with Grapefruit Salad and Saffron/Hazelnut Vinaigrette
Serves 4
Wine match: Clearview Reserve Chardonnay 2010

Saffron/Hazelnut Vinaigrette
1 tsp Saffron threads
2 tbsp water
1 tsp grain mustard
50ml Grapefruit juice
40ml grape seed oil
20ml hazelnut oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, cup of lightly chopped hazelnuts

Heat the saffron threads in the water and remove from the heat and place into a blender with the mustard and grapefruit juice. With the motor running, slowly pour on the oils and season to taste and stir in the hazelnuts.

20 scallops
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
salt
a squeeze of lemon juice
2 ruby grapefruit, segmented
Salad leaves

Heat a frying pan until almost smoking. Roll the scallops around in the melted butter and fry the scallops until golden brown on all sides. Season the scallops with the salt and the squeeze of lemon juice. Transfer them to a plate to keep warm. Gently toss the grapefruit segments in the salad leaves with the saffron dressing. Arrange the scallops on serving plates with the salad in the centre and spoon any extra dressing over the scallops.

Easter weekend I flew up to Auckland and had a great time visiting family. I made sure I went to Maison Vauron, a must if you enjoy French wines and also Galbraiths to try a few craft beers.

Roast Chicken for dinner evidently. Which Kumeu River Chardy shall I choose?
