NOW: Seafood salad with white wine, 2013
The verdict from our re-test? Who would have thought that raw mushrooms and poached scallops would be such a winning combination? Letting the salad sit in the fridge for a couple of hours softened the mushrooms and mellowed the flavours. The splash of wine was the perfect retro touch.
TIP: We couldn't find any anchovy paste, so we substituted with 1/2 tsp mashed anchovy fillets.
