CHEF'S NOTES

In my original recipe, I place the thinly sliced scallops in a puff pastry or short crust tartlet shell, and I purée a half avocado with 50 ml (10 teaspoons) olive oil.

Although avocado is considered high in fat, it contains much less than olive oil. Therefore I’ve used a whole avocado to obtain a reasonable quantity, preparing it just with lime juice. I then gave up the idea of the tartlet which, although it adds texture and aesthetic to the plate, ends up being a killjoy in a reduced calorie menu, so I used the natural scallop shell for the presentation. In this way, even while respecting the basis of my recipe to the utmost, I lowered the total calorie count from 2866.9 to 1083 calories, or 270.7 per serving.
