Boil the Jerusalem artichokes in a saucepan for 8-10 minutes until tender.

Blend the artichokes with butter, cream, and lemon juice until smooth.

Season the purée and warm it gently in a pan.

Boil peas for 3-4 minutes, drain, and mix with cumin, butter, cream, and lemon juice.

Crush the pea mixture using a fork or masher and season to taste.

Season the scallops with salt and pepper.

Sear scallops in olive oil for two minutes on each side until golden.

Fry the bacon until crisp and drain on kitchen paper.

Plate the purée, top with scallops, bacon, and pea shoots, then serve with crushed peas.
