The
Dogs' Scallops
Despite
their rather delicate flavour, scallops are a very meaty
fish. This makes them great for putting on skewers, and
therefore a fantastic alternative barbie food. I'm proud
of this recipe as it was featured in the Saturday
Telegraph. It's got a bit of a mexican twang to it,
which is....as the name suggests.
You
need - for 2 as a starter:
8 large scallops
2 medium hot fresh chilies finely chopped
1 lime halved
tequila
olive oil
Separate
the orange pieces from the main white piece of the
scallops. In a bowl mix the chilies, juice of half the
lime, a little oil and a few shots of tequila. Put the
scallops in and coat thoroughly. Allow to marinade for
1/2 an hour, then thread the white pieces onto a skewer. Now cook in your desired fashion, pan
fry, grill, bake, or my favorite - bar-b-q. However you
do it the scallops wont take long to cook. I like them
well done on the outside, with slight crispiness, and
rare in the middle.
Slice the other half of the lime in wedges and use to
garnish.
