Method
- A seafood delight fresh from the outdoor grill.
- Put your lentils in a saucepan, add the garlic and sage, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the lentils are just cooked.
- Drain the lentils in a colander and throw away the garlic and sage. Season with salt, pepper and a lug of extra virgin olive oil.
- Wash your scallops and pat dry with kitchen paper. Put four scallops at a time on to wooden skewers. Starting at one end, loosely wrap three pieces of pancetta in and around them.
- Place the kebabs on a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season lightly. Cook on a hot barbecue for about 10 minutes, turning three or four times until they're crispy and golden on the outside and warm all the way through.
- Serve with the lentils, some watercress dressed in the lemon juice and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Tip: Soak wooden skewers in cold water before using to stop them catching fire on the barbie!
