Deglaze the pan with the wine and add in the pomegranate juice. Add in the molasses and over a low heat, reduce the liquid by 3/4. Swirl in 1 Tbsp. cool butter before serving. Season to taste.
- Put some extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat. Add in the scallops. Sear till the first side is well browned and has formed a good crust. Turn and allow to sear on the other side. The scallops should remain slightly translucent/soft at the centre.
- Serve with the celery root puree and the pomegranate glaze poured around.
