Concept
Sea scallops have always been a distinguished delicacy that we have reserved for special occasions. Therefore, it is essential that the focus be on the composition and has the leading role visually. This suggests that we accompany a beautiful explosion of colors, yet, while remaining moderate with accompaniments, to maintain the lineage in elegance.
Ingredients
- Sea scallops
- Various cooked vegetables (carrots, zucchini, beetroot, red and green or gold peppers and sweet potatoes diced into cubes)
- Mini peppers, small colorful dwarf peppers, and tomatoes
- A dill bouquet, flax seeds
- Purple Poppies flower
Plating up
- Dice small cubes of assorted vege- tables and decorative sticks, for example, cocktail sticks dipped into honey to fix the poppy seeds or spa-ghetti sticks
- Arrange and align the sea scallops
- Add 3 small peppers of different colors
- Adorn each with a sprig of dill and twigs
- Finishing off with carnation petals and purple flowers sporadically garnished
