Ingredients

200g (2 cups) green beans, trimmed and halved

2 tbsp olive oil

half a red onion, finely diced

100 g (1 cup) corn

1 tbsp double cream

1 tsp stock concentrate

125 ml (1/2 cup) water

6 scallops, cleaned

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

2-3 sprigs parsley

2-3 sprigs thyme

Method

Over a pot of boiling water, steam beans for 10-15 minutes (until just tender with a little bite to them). 

Meanwhile heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium-sized pan over a medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add corn, double cream, stock concentrate and water. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and using a handheld mixer, blend until desired consistency. Set aside.

Heat a griddle pan with a drizzle of oil until hot. Season scallops and arrange them in the pan. Cook for about 1 minute then turn and cook for a further 30 seconds.

To serve, dollop the creamed corn onto a plate and arrange the scallops, green beans, and tomatoes on the top.

Garnish with herbs and enjoy!
