PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCALLOPS NESTED IN RATATOUILLE
Steps:
- First prepare the ratatouille: Slice aubergine in half-inch slices, sprinkle with salt and place over paper towels (to absorb the bitter juice). Let sit for 30 minutes. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large deep pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 garlic cloves, either chopped or pressed and 3 finely chopped onions. Heat until translucent. Then add roughly chopped courgettes, bell pepper, and aubergine. Let cook for approx. 10 minutes, adding more olive oil and stirring as necessary. Rougly chop tomatoes and add, turning down heat to medium and seasoning to taste. Let stew for as long as possible (ratatouille actually tastes best the next day). Prepare the scallops: Tear Prosciutto slices into long 1-2 inch wide pieces. Wrap one piece around each scallop and spear with rosemary sprigs to hold them together. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and a splash of truffle oil in a skillet over high heat. Add 1 chopped clove of garlic. When oil temperature is high enough (but not smoking!) add the scallops (fish side down). Then add a generous splash of Royal Tokaji. Let the scallops caramelize (the bases should be a lovely dark brown color) before turning. A few minutes per side. Meanwhile, boil squid ink tagliatelle for 3 minutes (al dente). Add with a spider spoon to the ratatouille (with a touch of the pasta water) and continue to stir. Finally, add the scallops (removing the rosemary skewers) to the ratatouille and pasta pan and stir for a few minutes so they can absorb the flavors. Serve on a plate: ratatouille as the base, followed by a small nest of pasta (optional) and finally the carmelized scallops resting on top.

What makes these scallops special is that they are coated in a tomato olive mix before being wrapped in prosciutto and baked.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SCALLOPS
This is such an easy and impressive meal. The prosciutto gets a nice crunch to it, but also melts in your mouth. I like to serve over a bed of wilted spinach. Splurge for the better quality Prosciutto di Parma. Don't forget to soak your wooden skewers in water for about a half an hour so they do not burn on the grill! Enjoy!
