Coriander And Pumpkin Seed Crusted Scallops
Ingredients
- 18 x large scallops
- 3 Tbsp. coriander seeds
- 5 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds salt pepper
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Put the coriander seeds into a dry non-stick pan over a medium heat. Fry them till they smoke and release their aroma. Put the pumpkins seeds on a baking tray and roast in the oven till they are golden in colour and begin to release their aroma.
- Crush the coriander and pumpkin seeds with salt and pepper in a mortar with a pestle. Brush the scallops with a little extra virgin olive oil and dip them to coat in the roasted spice mix.
- Heat the remainder of the extra virgin olive oil (just sufficient to cover the surface of the pan) in a non-stick pan over a high heat, once warm, turn the heat down to medium high, drop in the scallops and sear. Turn them once after a crust has formed. Turn off the heat of the burner to finish the cooking, about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately with a shaved fennel and apple salad.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
