Seared scallops, slow roasted pork belly, apple risotto, runny black pudding

Ingredients

240g cooked pork belly, cut into 8 slices

4 large scallops

30g butter

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

340g vialone rice

110ml white wine

1.2l boiling vegetable stock

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

100g grated parmesan

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and 
finely diced

250g black pudding, diced

450ml chicken stock

50g butter

Salt and pepper

Method

Bring the chicken stock to the boil and add the black pudding and butter.

Cook until the black pudding is starting to break up. Blitz in a processor until smooth then pass through a fine sieve, check seasoning and keep warm.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic until soft but not coloured, add the rice and continue to cook, ensuring all the grains are coated in the butter.

Add the wine and allow to reduce, then start adding the stock, one ladle at a time. When all the stock has been absorbed add the apples.

Finish off by adding the grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Check seasoning.

Reheat the pork belly, skin side up, under a medium grill until the crackling crisps up.

In a hot non-stick pan cook the scallop for approx 45 seconds each side.
