If possible, ask your fishmonger for ready-to-cook shells, stripped of their coral.

Wash the scallops under cold water and dry them in absorbent paper.

Then cut them into thin slices. To book.

Peel the truffle and also cut it into very thin slices. Scraps can be cut into small sticks.

Arrange the slices of scallops and truffles on two different plates.

Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the slices of scallops and truffles with olive oil.

Presentation
