Kari-Brest scallops 

Ingredients

4 scallops per person;

25g salted butter;

1 pinch Kari-Brest.

Method

Place your frying pan over a medium heat and melt the butter, add a pinch of Kari-Brest and once the frying pan is hot, add your scallops. Sear on each side for 1 minute, constantly spooning the melted butter over the scallops. Serve your scallops on a bed of leek fondue with white rice or fresh tagliatelle.

Our tip: Pierce the coral of the scallops with the tip of a sharp knife so that it doesn’t burst with the heat of the pan.

The perfect mix full of spicy yet delicate flavours

Its notes of clove, chilli pepper and turmeric make it a perfect companion for fish and seafood recipes, like lobster or scallops.

Where does Kari-Brest come from?

The pride of Breton chefs

Inspired by a famous blend of spices created by an apothecary in Lorient in Brittany, initially for health purposes, it is now widely used in Breton cuisine. This mix was made to recreate the flavours of Indian spices discovered at the time of the East India Company.
