Scallops with chestnuts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 10 cl of cream and 10 cl of fish fumet (a concentrated fish stock) to the boil. Let it reduce for 10 minutes.

    Cook the chestnuts in a pan, or simply reheat them in a small frying pan with butter. Either way, finish them off in a little butter.

    Add the scallops, sliced in half through their thickness, and cook them for one minute on each side.

    Serve on warm plates.

    Serve with a potato purée and a green salad.
