Method
To make the beetroot tartare, mix the beetroot and gherkins together in a large bowl. Mix the capers, dill, vinegar and olive oil together in a separate bowl. Season with salt. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish in a small bowl, then add to the beetroot, along with the caper mixture. Stir together and set aside.
To cook the scallops, heat the oil in a frying pan and, once hot, add the scallops. Cook on each side for 1–2 minutes. Add the garlic and butter, basting the scallops in the garlic butter.
To make the cauliflower, mix the white balsamic, lemon zest, oil and salt in a jug and whisk to combine. Pour the dressing over the shaved cauliflower in a bowl just before serving.
To serve, arrange the tartare in a circle or oval shape on a plate. Top with the scallops and cauliflower, then garnish with dill.
