Sweet potatoes

Romanesco broccoli

To make the crumble, combine the crackers with all the ingredients up to and including pepper, set aside.

Place the Romanesco broccoli on an oven tray lined with baking paper, season with salt, and cover with the 2nd sheet of baking paper.

Bake for approx. 15 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Remove the baking paper, scatter the crumble over the broccoli and finish cooking for approx. 10 mins.

Scallops

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the scallops in batches for approx. 2 mins. on each side, season with salt.
