Bay scallop ceviche served with Perrier-Jouët Blanc De Blancs
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 lb of bay scallops, halved
2 Tbl EVOO
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup orange juice
1 large avocado, cut into chunks
2 mangoes, cut into cubes
½ cup minced cilantro
1 cup minced red onion (you can also use yellow or Vidalia, your preference!)
Salt & Pepper to personal taste
Chopped macadamia or hazelnuts (optional)


Directions:
-
Combine the EVOO with the citrus juices in a bowl and whisk to emulsify
-
Add the scallops and toss to coat. Put in the fridge to ‘cook’ for around 2 hours
-
While that is happening, combine the avocado, cilantro, red onion, and mango
-
Once the scallops are ready (they should have turned opaque), add the full mixture (citrus juice included) to the other ingredients, stirring to incorporate
-
Add salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped nuts if desired. Enjoy with baked pita chips, tortilla chips, bagel chips, etc, or just a spoon right out of the bowl.
