  4. Pour in the cream. Puree the soup very finely with the cutting stick. Season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
  5. Pluck parsley leaves and chop. Finely grate 1 teaspoon lemon peel. Squeeze out 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  6. Finely puree the parsley leaves with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of oil with a cutting stick. Stir in lemon zest and season with salt.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil with 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Fry the scallops in it over medium to high heat for 1 - 2 minutes on each side. Season with salt and chilli flakes.
