Marinate

30M

Ingredients

1 dozen scallops, roe removed

juice from 2 limes

few drops sesame oil

1-2 tbsp lime juice

1/4 avocado, cut into 0.5cm cubes

1 orange, segmented (membrane removed)

4 tablespoon coconut milk

coriander leaves, to garnish

Method

1.Use a sharp knife to bisect each scallop into 2 or 3 thin slices. Place in a non-reactive bowl with the lime juice. Cover and leave for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Drain.

2.Whisk together the sesame oil and the second measure of lime juice. Add the marinated scallops to this liquid, plus the avocado and orange segments. Toss gently.

3.Arrange artistically on two plates. Drizzle with coconut milk and scatter with the coriander leaves.

Shake the coconut milk before opening to ensure it isn’t separated. – Roll the limes semi-firmly under foot to loosen juices before squeezing them.
