3. Stir in butter then season with salt and pepper.
The truffle cream
Reduce the cooking stock by half, add cream, reduce by half again and add tartufata, truffle oil, salt and pepper then blend with a hand blender.
The scallops
Colour the scallops on one side in a little oil (sunflower, olive etc.) Remove from the heat, add a knob of butter and put to the side.
The crumble
Whisk all the ingredients with a flat beater then bake for 12 minutes at 180°C on a sheet of baking paper.
Place the parsnip purée on the bottom of the plate, coat with crumble, place 3 scallops on top and garnish with a few truffle shavings and a little herring caviar (avruga). Serve the sauce on the side. Feel free to coat the entire plate in the sauce.
