Saffron vegetables

  1. Stir the saffron threads into the vegetable stock and leave to steep. Chop the fennel leaves finely and set aside. 
  2. Slice the fennel bulb and stem into strips and fry in olive oil until golden brown. 
  3. Deglaze the pan with lemon juice and aniseed liqueur, then pour over the saffron vegetable stock, cook over a medium heat until tender. 
  4. If necessary, season with sea salt and add water. Scatter over the fennel leaves. Scatter over the fennel leaves.

Breadcrumbs

  1. Finely grate the Parmesan, finely chop the parsley, stir into the dry breadcrumbs with 2 Tbs olive oil.

Scallops

  1. Wrap each scallop in a slice of belly pork and hold with a wooden skewer.
  2. Tip: for fresh scallops in the shell, wash, rinse, and remove muscle and roe. For frozen scallops, defrost in a sieve, lay on a tea towel and dry on both sides.

At the table

  1. Fry the prepared scallops on the grill plate with a little olive oil. Tip: scallops should be still a little translucent in the centre once cooked.
  2. Divide the prepared saffron fennel into portions in raclette pans, sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and grill. 

This recipe will also work cooked in a frying pan or the oven.
For a really great raclette evening, combine all three of our seafood raclette recipes.
