Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large scallops
6 slices pancetta
6 medium asparagus spears
4 ounces gorgonzola
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Halve the pancetta slices to make two thin strips of pancetta. Wrap each scallop tightly with the strips of pancetta, forming a criss-cross pattern across the scallop (like a present). Heat olive oil and pan-fry scallops briefly on each side until the scallop is cooked through (when they lose their transparency and turn opaque: approximately two minutes on each side).
  • Blanch the asparagus in rapidly boiling water for two minutes.
  • Mix the wine and cheese and reduce in a small saucepan until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the dish by placing 3 asparagus together, place 3 scallops on top and drizzle with 1/2 the gorgonzola sauce per person.
