In a frying pan, sauté 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the juices. Meanwhile, fry the scallops in a little butter and olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, seasoning lightly with salt. Season lightly with salt Dressage : Place 2 tablespoons of diced pumpkin with the orange segments (both hot and cold) on the Diana plates. Add a little citrus sauce and sprinkle with cracked Timut pepper and zest. Garnish with a few coriander leaves. A little advice from Huiles & Olives : For this recipe, choose one of France’s subtly flavoured, sweet and fruity olive oils: Nyons PDO for its buttery hazelnut flavour, Nice PDO for its fresh almond notes or Languedoc PDO for its apple and almond notes.
