Basil-Sumac Scallops

Another easy breezy way to prepare seafood, this time I picked scallops. Scallops need very little fuss, they have a high sugar content and work very well when seared with light favors.

Here is what a did with them, resulting in a lovely sweet-tangy recipe.

Basil-Sumac Scallops

Serves 2

Ingredients

10 scallops

1 tbsp grated jaggery

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp sumac

1 tbsp ghee

A handful of fresh basil leaves

Method of Preparation

1. Mix the scallops with the jaggery, chili powder, salt, ginger and sumac and let this sit for 15 minutes.

2. In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the ghee and spread evenly across the pan.

3. Place the scallops in a single layer on the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.

4. Turn and cook for the same time on the other side.

5. The scallops should be lightly browned.

6. Add the basil, serve with rice or salad.

All right so this one goes out to WHB being hosted by Margot at Coffee and Vanilla.
