Citrus Scallop Ceviche recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

1. 1 pound large sea scallops, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick
rounds (See Note)
2. 2 medium celery ribs, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
3. 1 fresh kumquat, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
4. 1/3 cup minced red onion
5. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
6. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
7. Freshly ground pepper
8. 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
9. 1 tablespoon minced chives
10. Fine sea salt
11. Toasted or grilled thinly sliced white bread, for serving

Directions

1. In a large shallow glass or ceramic dish, spread the scallop
slices in a single layer. In a small bowl, combine the celery,
kumquat, onion, lime juice and olive oil and season with pepper.
Mix well and spoon the lime marinade over the scallops. Cover and
refrigerate until the scallops start to turn opaque, at least 1
hour or for up to 4 hours.
2. Add the cilantro and chives to the scallops and toss. Season with
salt. Arrange the ceviche in a shallow bowl or platter and serve
with the toasted bread.

Notes

Because ceviche isn’t actually cooked, be sure to pick the very
best quality scallops you can find.
