3. Place 2 strips of pancetta across each other flat on a baking tray to make a cross
4. Place a scallop large-side down in the centre of the cross and wrap the pancetta around the scallop
5. Repeat on all the scallops
6. In a hot non stick fry pan, place the scallops flat side down for 30 seconds, until scallops begin to change colour (in batches if necessary)
7. Transfer the pan to the oven for 1 minute, then turn them over and cook for a further 1 minute.
8. Remove from the oven
9. Place the diced tomatoes, the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil in a small pan and warm gently.
10. To serve, place the tomatoes in the centre of 4 serving plates. Place the scallops on top and lay a few baby salad leaves (greens) in the centre of the scallops.
11. Drizzle a little of the dressing used to warm the tomatoes over the leaves and spoon the gremolata around the plates.
