Scallops Gorgonzola - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large scallops
6 slices pancetta
6 medium asparagus spears
4 ounces gorgonzola
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

Halve the pancetta slices to make two thin strips of pancetta. Wrap each scallop tightly with the strips of pancetta, forming a criss-cross pattern across the scallop (like a present). Heat olive oil and pan-fry scallops briefly on each side until the scallop is cooked through (when they lose their transparency and turn opaque: approximately two minutes on each side).
Blanch the asparagus in rapidly boiling water for two minutes.
Mix the wine and cheese and reduce in a small saucepan until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the dish by placing 3 asparagus together, place 3 scallops on top and drizzle with 1/2 the gorgonzola sauce per person.
