Method

Boil the stock in a saucepan and cook potatoes for 6-8 minutes until tender.

Plate the mash, top with scallops, and drizzle with the orange butter sauce.

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry scallops for 1 minute per side.

Whisk cold butter into the hot sauce until smooth and glossy.

Add cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Simmer orange juice and vinegar in a small pan for 3-4 minutes to reduce.

Season the mash with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain the stock then mash potatoes and onions with cheese and olive oil.

Add spring onions for the final 2 minutes of potato cooking time.
