Scallops in Leek Leaves

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1. Rinse the pearl barley well and boil it in plenty of salted water.
  • 2. Meanwhile, wash the leek leaves (leave them whole for the entire length), blanch them for a minute in slightly salted water, cool them under running water, and lay them out to dry on a kitchen towel.
  • 3. Cut them in half to obtain eight fairly wide strips.
  • 4. Crush about ten green pepper grains in a wooden mortar.
  • 5. Thoroughly wash the scallops, dry them, and blend them with the cream, a pinch of salt, and the crushed green pepper.
  • 6. Shape the mixture into small meatball-like shapes, wrap them in the leek leaf, securing it with a toothpick.
  • 7. Steam the small rolls for 10 minutes.
  • 8. Finely chop the carrot, zucchini, shallot, celery, and a bunch of parsley.
  • 9. Put the drained barley in a bowl, add the raw vegetable mixture and season with oil and pepper.
  • 10. Serve the rolls hot, accompanied with the barley.

Notes

Add some fresh lemon juice to the scallop cream for a touch of freshness.
