“The inspiration for this dish came from a conch seviche served at a
small
restaurant in Mérida, Mexico. Scallops make a good substitute
here as conch
is not readily available in the States.”
Scallop Seviche
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced serrano chile
1 1/4 pounds large sea scallops, sliced
horizontally 1/4 inch thick
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons pure olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
Avocado Dressing
1 avocado, finely diced
1 small tomato, peeled, seeded and
finely diced
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1. In a large glass baking dish, combine the lemon, orange and
lime juices with the lime zest, ginger and chile. Add the scallops in a single
layer
and
turn them to coat. Cover and refrigerate until the scallops turn
white, about
1 hour. Add the scallions, red bell pepper, cilantro, olive
oil and garlic and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours for
firmer scallops.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the avocado with the tomato, red
onion, cilantro, chile and garlic. Fold in the lime juice and olive oil and
season
with salt and pepper.
3. Using a slotted spoon, divide the scallops, scallions and red
bell pepper evenly among 6 shallow soup plates. Spoon the avocado dressing
next
to
or over the seviche and pour a little of the marinade
all around.

Wine –
Though beer is the obvious choice with seviche, the sweet
scallops and sharp
citrus flavors will find echoes in a crisp lime-
scented Australian Riesling from
the Clare Valley. Look for the
1998 Pikes or the 1998 Petaluma.
