5. Reduce the heat and whisk in the butter, a cube at a time.

6. Remove the pan from the heat and pass the sauce through a sieve into a clean saucepan. Add the chives and season to taste with lime juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper.

7. Lightly season the scallops with salt and freshly ground black pepper then rub with the olive oil.

8. Heat a frying pan until very hot, add the scallops and cook on either side for 45-60 seconds then remove from the pan and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.

9. Meanwhile, for the pickled vegetables, bring the vinegar and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan.

10. Place all the vegetables into a bowl then pour the vinegar mixture over the top. Stir until combined, then set aside to pickle for at least 2 hours.
