Scallop (Pecten maximus) Curry
(serving suggestion)
Scallop Curry - Criminal Act or Twisted Genius?
Further to the previous piece on curry houses I have for your perusal decided to include my recipe for scallop curry. This NFN traditional dish has been handed down through my family and indeed can be traced back to the early 16th century.
Ingredients:
1 onion
1 tin chopped tomatos
1 tin button mushrooms
3 heaped teaspoons Pataks madras paste
15-20 scallops
Method;
1. Chop onion, and soften in olive oil (extra virgin) over a low heat.
2. Add tin chopped tomatos
3. Add Pataks paste, to taste.
4.Add mushrooms
5. Add scallops
6. Simmer gently for 20 mins
7. Serve (please see picture for serving suggestion)
So there we have it!
Scallop Curry. Voila
The recipe is especially good for those strange folks who are none too keen on this particularly tasty mollusc as the meat becomes rather like very tender chicken. Alternatively, buy some chicken!
