Preparation and cooking times

- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the vegetables gently in a little butter until they are beginning to soften, then add a splash of Sauternes - just enough to create some steam. Allow to cool.
- Put a generous amount of the vegetables and a few of the chopped herbs in the base of the concave shell (or a little dish). Now place the scallop slices on top (laying the slices side by side). Put another layer of vegetables and herbs on top. Add a few drops of Sauternes.
- Lightly butter the inside of the top shells and put them back in position. Use a long finger-width of puff pastry to wrap right around the shell and seal the edges together. Put the scallop shells on a baking sheet in the oven for about 8 minutes (10 if you are using bowls). Open the scallops at the table.
