Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, mash with a fork and season with salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Cook until the chorizo is crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Baste the scallops with the melted butter while cooking.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Plate the mashed cauliflower as a base, top with the seared scallops, and sprinkle with the crispy chorizo and currants. Serve immediately.
