- large bunches cime di rapa, (broccoli rabe), washed
- 1 tbsp Olive oil

Method
1. For the cime di rape: boil a pan of water. Remove and discard the outer leaves from the cime di rape.2. Put the cime di rape stems first into the boiling water, the leaves will sink in as it cooks. Boil for about 4 minutes, until tender. Drain and return to pan.
3. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil.
4. For the scallops: heat the oil in a pan. Add the scallops and cook for about 1 minute or until golden on the underside. Turn the scallops, season and add the knob of butter and the capers to the pan.
5. Sprinkle the oregano over the scallops and squeeze over the lemon juice. Remove the scallops from the pan when they have turned opaque, but are still tender to the touch.
6. Arrange the cime di rape on the plate and sit the scallops on top, pouring over any juice left in the pan. Sprinkle with the red mustard leaves.
