How it's done

To marinate the “scallops”

Combine the miso paste with the balsamic, maple syrup and soy sauce. Cut the mushroom stalks into slices approx. 3 cm thick, set aside the heads. Mix the scallops with the marinade, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.

Bean puree

Roughly chop the reserved mushroom heads. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions, garlic and chopped mushrooms, sauté for approx. 10 mins. Add the beans, sour single cream and almonds, cover and simmer for approx. 5 mins. Puree the beans until smooth, season, cover and keep warm.

To fry the “scallops”

Heat the clarified butter in a non-stick frying pan. Using a sharp knife, make a diamond-shaped incision (approx. 2 mm deep) into a cut surface of each “scallop”. Season the “scallops”, fry for approx. 4 mins. on each side.

Dressing

Combine the balsamic and oil, season. Stir in the herbs and almonds. Smear the bean puree onto plates, arrange the “scallops” on top, drizzle with the herb dressing.
