Make this any time you have fresh scallops with large roes that aren’t needed in the dish you’re making. Lay cleaned scallop roes on a flat tray lined with baking paper and leave to dry out overnight in a warm place (on a shelf above the stove or in the oven with the pilot light on). The roes will shrink to about a quarter of their original size. When dry, use an electric spice grinder to grind the roe into a fine powder. Keeps in an airtight jar for about a month.
