Scallops and Bacon

I have been watching "Masterchef: the Professionals" and everyone seems to be cooking scallops. It reminded just how delicious and simple they are to cook. Nigella's recipe seemed a good and easy one. Annoyingly i could only find scallops without their corals, which is a shame, because they add taste, although nigella says she doesn't normally add them anyway. I did this recipe with the bacon for myself and without bacon for Tara, although you need to add some salt if you miss out the bacon.

- Fry 4 rashers of bacon in oil, till crispy, then remove.

- Coat 10 scallops in flour and fry in 15g of butter over a low-medium heat.

- Cook on one side for 3 mins then 2 mins on the other.

- Remove the scallops, and add 40ml of dry sherry to pan.

- Pour the sauce over the scallops and bacon and sprinkle with parsley.

A simple but delicious way to cook scallops. They are also delicious cooked in butter and vermouth. Nigella says add 60ml of sherry, but i think this was just a bit too much!
