Method

  • step 1

    Put the ’nduja into a small cold frying pan and break it up with the back of a spoon over a medium heat, until its fat has rendered and is fairly smooth. Cool then put in a bowl with the softened butter and mix really well. Chill for 5 minutes to firm slightly, then tip into baking paper, form into a sausage and twist the ends to tighten. Chill until firm.

  • step 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the shallot, vinegar and coriander with a little seasoning.

  • step 3

    Heat the grill to high. Put the scallops in their shells onto a large baking sheet, then put a thick slice of the ’nduja butter on top of each. Grill for 5 minutes until the butter is bubbling and the scallops are lightly caramelised.

  • step 4

    Serve with the vinegar, herb and shallot mix spooned over the top.

’Nduja is a spreadable, spicy pork paste from Calabria, Italy, and is available from Waitrose and ocado.com.
