2 tbsp Sabatino White Truffle Oil
1 orange or grapefruit segments

METHOD

  • 1
    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Arrange the scallops on a serving plate. Top or garnish each scallop with a small piece of orange or grapefruit segments.
