This is a great starter to serve while you wait for your pizza oven to reach its full temperature and to enjoy in the garden as a quick fire-snack.
Method
Make some simple pickled radish to cut through the sweet smoky scallops. For this heat vinegar and dissolve sugar. Then pour the sweet pickling liquor over your sliced radish to hot pickle for 10-15 mins.
Next toss the scallops in a little oil and season with seaweed salt before cooking.
In another bowl toss the asparagus, capers and pesto together and cook in a frying pan in the oven for 2-3 mins. I like to cook the scallops on the oven floor for 1-2 mins on each side. Serve the scallops back in their shell on a bed of herby asparagus with pickled radish to garnish.
