Steps:
- Place the cauliflower and the vegetable stock in a sauce pan then bring to a simmer and cook for 8-12 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.
- Drain the cauliflower well, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Puree the cauliflower using either a handheld immersion blender, food processor or blender. Adding in a little cooking liquid until you have a constancy that you like.
- Season to taste and either divide it up between two covered plates or set aside until needed. (see note 2)
- First ensure the scallops are dry by patting them with paper towel to remove any moisture. Then leave them to sit on a sheet of paper towel.
- Place a heavy non-stick fry pan over a medium high heat and add the oil. Let the oil get smoking hot.
- Season the scallops lightly with salt. Then carefully and quickly add the scallops to the fry pan. Do them individually starting at 12 o'clock and working around the outside of the pan.
- Cook the scallops for 90 seconds on one side.
- Turn the heat off under the pan and add the butter and walnuts to the fry pan.
- Use tongs to gently turn each scallop over into the sizzling butter, again starting at 12 o'clock and working around in the same order you added the scallops. (see note 3)
- Once the butter has stopped sizzling, add 3 scallops to each plate and spoon over the walnut butter.
- Garnish with pomegranate arils and chopped oregano/parsley.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until it is the consistency of syrup, about 1/4 cup.
- Keep warm.
- Cook cauliflower florets for about one minute in boiling salted water, then put on ice to stop the cooking and retain color.
- Reserve one cup of the florets.
- Put the other cup into a saucepan, cover it with 1/4 cup of cream and cook for about 8 minutes.
- Puree in a blender or push through a fine sieve and keep warm.
- Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small sauté pan, and when heated add the scallops that have been seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Cook over moderately high heat, high enough to get a nice caramelized sear, on each side for 1-3 minutes, until cooked through.
- In another small sauté pan, brown 1 1/2 tablespoons butter slightly, then add the cup of florets that were not pureed.
- Cook for one minute or two browning the cauliflower slightly.
- Add the toasted, slivered almonds, then the capers, golden raisins and chopped parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In the center of a plate, put half the cauliflower puree.
- Arrange the cauliflower-caper-raisin mixture on top of the puree as a bed for the scallops.
- Top with half the scallops, then drizzle the plate with the reduced balsamic vinegar.
- Repeat with second plate.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp. of olive oil and add cauliflower. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until it just becomes tender, stirring frequently. Remove the cauliflower from pan and set aside. Using the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil and place the scallops in the pan, being sure to not let them overlap. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, depending on the size. Remove the scallops and set aside. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook for about 1 minute, or until tender. Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning. Add the white wine to the skillet. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any flavorful bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer. Add the cauliflower back to the skillet and cook under cover for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender. Place the scallops back in the pan. Stir well and only cook for another minute, while adding the salt and pepper. Remove from heat and top with basil prior to serving.

Steps:
- Put the cauliflower, milk, vanilla pod and its seeds into a small saucepan with a pinch of salt. Cover and simmer for 10 mins until the cauliflower is tender. Drain the cauliflower, reserving the milk and discarding the vanilla pod. Whizz the cauliflower until smooth in a food processor, adding a knob of butter, seasoning and enough reserved milk to make a nice, smooth consistency. This can be made up to a day ahead, then reheated in a pan or microwave.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper, lay the pancetta on top and cook for 8-10 mins until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper, drizzle with maple syrup and set aside until serving. 3 Fry the porcini in half the olive oil in a hot pan for about 4 mins until starting to brown. Keep warm.
- Heat the remaining oil and butter in a frying pan and season the scallops. Fry the scallops for 1-1½ mins on each side over a high heat until caramelised. To assemble, spoon the purée onto plates, top with porcini, scallops and pancetta, then sprinkle with chives.
