N’duja is a spicy Italian spreadable sausage. The combination of the spicy n’duja with the mildly sweet scallops and the freshness of the lemon zest is so delicious! This recipe takes 5 minutes to prepare and you can put it in the fridge until the last minute, after which you only need to bake it in the oven for 10 minutes. Ideal to serve as a starter at Christmas dinner.

  • 4 tsp. n’duja
  • 4 tsp. butter (at room temperature)
