Scallop Ceviche With Tigers Milk Recipes

SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH "TIGER'S MILK"

Steps:

• Steam sweet potato in a steamer rack, covered, over simmering water until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, cook choclo (if using) in a medium pot of well-salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving liquid in pot, and cool to room temperature.
• Return choclo-cooking water to a boil (or use 4 cups fresh water if not using choclo). Add scallops and poach at a bare simmer, stirring occasionally, until barely cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain well and cool to room temperature.
• Halve onion lengthwise, then very thinly slice using slicer. Soak in a bowl of cold water 5 minutes, then drain well and pat dry.
• Stir together lime juice, pisco, chile paste, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then gently stir in sweet potato, choclo, scallops, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and salt to taste.
• Serve ceviche on small plates, drizzled with any remaining lime juice mixture from bowl.

SCALLOP CEVICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large, non-reactive bowl , whisk together the fish stock, onion, garlic, celery, and ginger. Keep in the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow flavors to mingle before using.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the potatoes, water, and 2 teaspoons of salt to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium and cook until the sweet potato is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain and cool to room temperature.
• Add the onion, cucumber, cilantro, and lime juice to the Leche de Tigre and stir to combine. Add the scallops and gently fold into the marinade so all of the pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate to marinate, about 5 minutes.
• After marinating, divide into two serving bowls or plates. Place half of the sweet potato pieces on top of each serving of ceviche. Finish by drizzling each with olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt. Serve with lime wedges.

SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH MELON, CHILI, AND MINT

Steps:

• Start by assessing the scallops at the fish store. I usually inspect every one just to make sure that they're all in perfect shape, i.e. not torn, and fresh with a sweet ocean smell. The next step is to remove the side mussel that connects the scallop to its shell; it's not hard to miss; just pull it off with your fingers. Keep the shells to serve the ceviche in. Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops in half lengthwise into discs; the thinner they are, the faster they'll "cook". Put the scallops in a glass bowl and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper.
• Put the citrus juices, zest, and sugar in a blender and give it a whirl to combine. Add the olive oil and blend again to emulsify. Pour the marinade over the scallops; there should be enough juice to allow the scallops to float freely. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, until the scallops are opaque, i.e. cooked from the acid in the fruit.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cantaloupe, mint, and chili; season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
• To serve: Spoon the scallop ceviche into the shells with a little bit of the citrus juice, and top with a spoonful of the cantaloupe salad. Garnish each serving with some fresh mint.

SNAPPY SCALLOP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash sweet potatoes and place in a deep saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Remove from heat, drain and allow to cool enough to handle. Peel off the skin, slice into 1/2 inch pieces, and set aside.
• Place the bay scallops in a medium bowl and toss gently with the lime juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Place the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring every few minutes so the coconut toasts evenly. Set aside.
• Drain the scallops and transfer to a clean bowl. Add the onions, jalapenos, raisins, toasted coconut, coconut milk, chopped cilantro, oregano, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and the reserved toasted coconut and serve with Canchita on the side.
• Canchita, the Un-popped Popcorn of Peru:
• Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the chulpe corn, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Once you hear the kernels pop (like popcorn), shake the pot vigorously to prevent the kernels on the bottom from burning. Once the popping slows, after about 8 to 10 minutes, drain the canchita in a strainer and rub with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Season with salt while the corn is still warm and serve with Scallop Ceviche.
