Equipment
- cooking pot
- mixer / blender
- frying pan
Ingredients
- 400 gr parsnip
- 1 onion
- 1 leek
- 1 potato
- ½ green pepper sweet
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbl spoon olive oil
- 1 tbl spoon dill
- 100 ml cream
- 750 ml vegetable broth
- salt and pepper
- 8 scallops
- 1 tbl spoon sprouts optional
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Scrape the parsnips with a vegetable peeler and cut them into coarse pieces. Peel the potato and cut it into large pieces, just like the green pepper. Chop the onion and garlic. Cut the leek into rings. I used just a little more than the white of the stem.
- Put 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan and add all the vegetables. Stew them for about 4 minutes, stirring. Pour over the stock and season with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables cook on a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and blend with a blender until the soup is smooth. Set aside. Heat the soup about 10 minutes before serving, then stir in the cream and chopped dill.
- Preheat the oven to 180º.You can use pressure molds to remove stars or party-related shapes from the dough. Place them on a baking paper. Mix the egg yolk with 1 tsp water and brush it over the pastry shapes. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Put 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Let the oil heat up and sear the scallops on both sides until they turn light brown (max. 2 minutes on each side). Season with salt and pepper. For the scallops I did not use the coral (orange part). If you use frozen scallops, allow them to thaw completely in time and pat them dry before baking.
- Have you reheated the soup? mixed with the cream and dill, then spoon it into the plates. Place two scallops on each plate. Decorate with some extra dill and the sprout mix. Place a basket on the table with the puff pastry shapes. Enjoy a delicious soup and have a great party!
