Scallops à La Provençal

This elegant Scallops à la Provençale is a vibrant, dairy-free dish that captures the sunny flavours of southern France. By roasting sweet cherry tomatoes with fragrant garlic and fresh thyme, you create a rich, jammy base that perfectly complements the delicate sweetness of the sea scallops. The addition of fresh corn provides a delightful crunch and natural sweetness, making this a sophisticated yet remarkably simple traybake for any night of the week.

Ideal as a light dinner or a healthy weekend lunch, this seafood recipe is naturally low in fat while remaining high in protein. Serving the warm, roasted vegetables over a bed of peppery rocket adds a fresh dimension, while a splash of balsamic vinegar ties the savoury notes together. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a gluten-free and dairy-free Mediterranean meal that doesn't compromise on flavour.
